Have you searched?

There is a thread now about S60R problems, V70R will be much of the same.

Rear side hop, angle gears, electrics, suspension etc.

Get a very good warranty as P2 bits are stupid expensive. Today I've paid the best part of £1400 for a flywheel and clutch on a lowly V70 D5 and that was discounted...

If you want to know about the warranty work that my car had PM me. Glad I got it done, now its fine and should be for many miles to come.
