Saves quite a lot of cash doing it yourself as well.
Oil and filter - £30 or so
Fuel Filter - £30 or so
Air Filter - upgrade to a foam filter so can just be cleaned at every service rather than replaced. £30-£50 initial purchase.
Pollen filter - £15 or so
If you have no choice but to take it to a garage I would advise a Volvo specialist so they can reset the oil quality counter when the oil is changed amongst other things.

Thanks Petey - definitely not something I'd tackle myself (changing my dipped beam bulbs on each side is about my limit!)
I've booked it into Craig Rawse next week. Actually took it in a few weeks ago as I thought I had a water leak but all OK. They gave it a quick look over and said there's some cracking in the auxiliary belt so I'll get that done at the same time.
There's a bit of a whining noise too which seems to have got worse in the last week or so but I can't tell where it's coming from. Hopefully they'll be able to sort it and it won't be too expensive!
