Especially the rear mount is a PITA... Have you tried VIDA for yourself? There are instructions for the change, but a little different. Volvo uses a bridge over the engine (to get it up).
If you use the method from the vid, you need two 1/2 extensions, but they are difficult to get through between the stabilzer and I think it's the engine frame. And don't push up to far, when trying to get out the engine mount, or you break one of your turbo hoses. We had a discussion about it in a german forum, the essence of it was to change all other engine mounts (five) yourself and leave this last one for the dealer. I got an estimate from an independent for around 70.-GBP (80.-€). Doesn't sound that much... I did it once by myself (years ago) and I remember, it was not one of these "fun things".

Ok thanks Greg, paddy I don't know what Vida is 🤔 I have done top mount, front torque mount and have the lower right mount and the rear mount to do, front mount looks like it's recently been done, I've had a look under and the bottom but looks fairly accessable, it's the top nut that looks like it could be a struggle

@WarrenandZoe
Sorry, thought everyone knows about... VIDA is the Volvo diagnostic and repair software, that is normally used by the dealers. It is available to download (not totally legal), but heps a lot. Take a look here: https://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...-Download-Link

Update - I have replaced the right side lower mount and the rear bottom mount and all noise is gone, tick over is almost silent and there are no more nasty bangs and vibration over bumps and under braking

That's a good result, WarrenandZoe. I think I'm in for similar work on my 2005 D5. How did you find replacing the lower rear engine mount? When loosening it last year to remove my steering rack I found access to the lower bolt very difficult.

It was actually a lot easier than I expected, I undid the top nut 1st and remove vacuum line (managed to do without breaking) then raised the car, the bottom bolt was a bit hard to get to but do-able with universal joint, then jacked the gearbox enough to remove the top of the mount pin from the bracket, then lower gearbox again and it almost fell out past the subframe, fit new one in reverse, gearbox needed lifting higher for the new one as it was a good 1/2 inch higher
