Fair play to you Bigfella for sticking with it and getting the job done.
Volvo2: I did this job a couple of months (ish) back on my missus's V70 (non-turbo which makes things a bit easier, I'm led to believe).
Not a hard job, just a bit fiddly.
Only problem I had was the LPG system on her car: the nozzles fitted to the inlet manifold were too close to the manifold nuts on cylinder 1-3 to allow me to undo them. So the nozzles had to be removed. PITA to carefully wind them out with needle nosed mole grips as there were no flats so I couldn't use a spanner (the manifold had been drilled and tapped to accept threaded inserts) and my missus who was 'helping' managed to strip one of these treads when we were re-assembling the car. Bless 'er!
Managed to re-tap it ok, but it just meant a bit of extra faffing about.
