Looks like I have managed to get very confused and replaced the wrong sensor. The error going away seems to have just been lucky because it's back. :-(

So anyway...

* The AC system has been regassed so it now blows cold
* The clutch on the compressor has been adjusted so it doesn't cut out after ten minutes when it is warm
* The passenger compartment sensor has been replaced (didn't need to do that, damn!)
* The external temperature sensor (in the door mirror) has been replaced so it is now giving consistent readings but it was a non original item from eBay and is about 2 degrees too low but that's okay because at least the auto climate operation now works (I may get a genuine Volvo item in the future)

I think that Resonance may have helped me a load with that photo (thanks!) to help me identify the correct blower fan temperature sensor as accurately pointed out by Jarndyce but misunderstood by me (sorry).

Like it says under my name, I can be clueless at times and miss things first time round.
