Fuel Tank Capacity
Do all V40/S40's have the same capacity fuel tank? Eg. If i put a replacement sender unit from a 2.0 on a 1.6 is it going to give an accurate/correct figure?

As far as I am aware they all have the same 60 litre tank, is it a sender unit and the pump or just the sender? I know when I was looking around the pump was dependant on the engine but I am guessing just the sender wouldn't be.

Have you tried to clean the contacts where the float rides up and down? They can sometimes get a but mucky meaning there are issues with the gauge - its a common issue on these cars it seems, might save you a few pennies if it just needs a clean!
