Hose for the turbo needed replacing, not covered under warranty, charge for replacing it seemed steep.

Handles quite well, not as stodgy as its image suggests.

Security
Alarm, Immobiliser and Deadlocks, but it is a Volvo so can't see anyone wanting to pinch it.
Service
Complained to Volvo about the hose not being covered under the warranty they were very apologetic and will reduce the next service bill by the same amount.
