The petrol C30/S40/v50s seem to have the least problems :P

Most likely because there's miles more diesels than petrols of the S40/V50/30 range. For what it's worth they aren't all bad, mines on 167k and beyond routine servicing all its needed is 4 wheel bearings and an alternator.

That's not bad going!

Volvo went in today for the work. Turns out also need an arm to go along with the ball-joint. She'll be back on the road soon enough :P

It is a diesel C30! And I specifically chose Volvo's own engine (over the various Peugeot diesels available) to try and avoid such problems.... But no. I'm 23 and fancied a Volvo which more reflected my age, but turns out I'm more than happy with a V40 again... and it works properly without rattly Ford bits of trim.
