Other than the obvious, it is definately worth checking out the immobiliser if fitted. The wife's V40 suddenly decided not to play a few months ago, for no apparent reason, and by checking out the immobiliser functions, I worked out that the immobiliser circuit had gone wrong. Turned out to be corrosion internally on the main loom which had crept back from the connector. Not a nice job to sort out, and had to get the garage to do the diagnostics, but if it isn't any of the usual, this may be worth checking out at least to eliminate it.
