-New tailgate bulbs since two bulbs had stopped working.
-Driver window noise fixed.
-Blew out some dust out of the air filter and cleaned the box where it's placed. (I might purchase a new air filter later)
It's worth getting an MOT inspection done to see what really does need doing. Otherwise you can spend time with rust or dents that might not matter whilst overlooking something much more important like defective rear calipers.

Good you cleaned out the air filter housing as a lot of folks forget to do that. It's very important to clean it if the engine has a turbo in particular.

The R5W blulbs in the rear lights are a PITA, as they fail on a regular basis. I did try some cheap LED's, but they did not last much longer.

Some of the engines don't like non Volvo plugs, as there is no real equivalent.
