Any engine services company will have them, there is nothing particularly Volvo about them (32mm if I recall).

The valve shims are 33mm diameter and available in various places- I’ve bought some from here before. As above, they’re not a specific to volvo design.

My apology, 33mm and not 32mm, my memory just gets worse

Absolutely brilliant service from Eurosport, if you order by lunchtime the shims arrive next day.
