Although I'm glad it will be getting a new gearbox for free, I'm a bit concerned that this was not picked up before I bought the car.
Is there anything else that I should get them to check whilst they have it?
I'm glad I decided to buy from Volvo otherwise it could have been very expensive further down the line.

Is it a volvo dealer and if so are they reading their service bulletins ?
They wont get a gearbox passed as the cure is to take it out and take the bell housing off , remove front clutch and fit some modified shaft seals . They should be well aware of this as the bulletin was updated with the repair recently . The manual adaption process in not used now .Great if you get a gearbox ,( with new oil ! ) but i doubt it ..
