I'm not far from you mate, I'm actually in south east Powys and I was born in Hereford living near Hereford up until 2009!

My car is a 2001 V70 T5 with 246,000 miles on the clock and the kangarooing on cold is something my car also does, I wonder if it's a characteristic of the car or whether something else is going on.

As for the lack of power, have you considered it may be a Boost sensor? I'd check the one that plugs in to the top of the intercooler to ETM pipe. Failing that it could be a Boost control solenoid or something like that, sorry I'm no expert but having read peoples woes with these cars so much I'm going through a list of possible known issues deducting the ones you've already tried.

Also, generic code readers don't always show up the faults (as I've found out).

Regards
