Hi Roy
I don't own one but a few friends do/have and i have bee involved with them since they first came to life in the 300 series then 400 series and evolved into a very nice engine in the 2001 onwards S/V40 They are certainly less trouble than the new 2.0 D in the new S40/V50 . Mileage is not a problem , they don't wear out , but then neither do many makes of engine these days . Volvo dealers shouldn't farm out diesel work , they are issued with the tools and training to deal with them .
