If anyone was going to be cost cutting and suffering as a result it would surely be PSA engines (look at GM currently offloading the shares they bought in Peugeot).

I think any 5 cylinder diesel engine issue lie squarely with Volvo.
Ford made a number of modifications in 2007 when production of the D5 engine went to the ford factory in Bridgend ! They also tampered with the angle gear and final drive , probably to enable them to fit landrover etc which they owned at the time
