S80 2001 not engaging gear
When my S80 is not running I can move the gear lever to any position. As soon as I start the car I cannot engage any gear. This problem developed very suddenly. Any ideas as to what has gone wrong? Thanks.

It will be the clutch not disengaging for some internal reason ... Probably time for a new clutch ;-(

Obviously the next thing to do is to place th car in-gear and try to start with the clutch pedal down. It’ll bounce around, but it might free up if it’s a stiction thing. Be prepared for it to jerk forward....

Clutch problem now fixed
Hi Guys, thanks for your comments - they were spot on. My local mechanic (ex Volvo employee) suspected that the clutch slave cylinder was faulty, so took the clutch out of the car (the slave cylinder is inside the clutch - brilliant design!). The slave cylinder WAS leaking, but what was not helping matters - and almost certainly the main cause of my problem - was that the clutch pressure plate was neatly split into two halves! All fixed now.
