AW50/51 Loss of drive

Help!!!

Does anyone know of a Volvo transmission specialist in Yorkshire that might be able to repair or replace the slush box in my 1999 V70R 80k on clock, Sept '99 build.
I've called the place in Huddersfield, but they say they don't work on vehicles prior to year 2000 as they don't have the software to program the TCM.

Update;
Turns out the transmission has been retired by Volvo.
I was therefore forced to engage my Master Technician head.
The aftermarket radiator I had purchased six years previously but only installed three years ago, had failed, contaminating the transmission fluid.
I sourced a new control assembly/ valve body from Volvo, and after flushing out the transmission with fresh fluid, I replaced the valve body and radiator.
After completing the TCM adaptation procedure, I can thankfully confirm that the Beast is in full running order.😁
