Thank you for the speedy replies!

I will think again as the last thing I want is to write the car off if the flush ruins the gearbox.

Bloody shame it's not been done regularly as I guess then it wouldn't have the same chance of dislodging crud into the gearbox when flushed.

If I chose to leave it as it is, as long as the ATF dipstick level is correct, are the gearboxes known for giving up the ghost? I've never heard many horror stories regarding Volvos and reliability. Just curious as to whether the automatic transmissions found in this generation of S80 are particularly strong?

Many thanks again

Ben
