Youre wrong mate they either had the Renault box or the volvo m56 box ;) I have a m56 box reverse down the bottom as opposed to top ;), you are right in a way judge some x40's did have the Renault box

If it's a T4 then it should be an M56 as far as I know.... Or what I should say is, all the ones I've had were M56.
(X reg and a 51 plate).
The whole range had them it was just the luck of the draw wether you got the m56 box or the Renault one mate ;) lots of x40's have the m56 box it's not just limited to the t4.
I take it the m56 is a tried and tested box also available or used in 850's and early t5 v70s, s60's things like that.
The phase 2 x40 diesels were breathed upon by volvo aswell, I'm sure they have volvo pistons etc, why they are reliable beasts. Also volvo detuned them for reliability.
Gave mine a run down Notts/Derby way ( yesterday now !) to pick up some wheels to hopefully fit my Lancia elta Rally mobile !
Coming back I was passed by a smug ar5e driving a 64 plate Jag XF.... the 'R' version. He disappeared up the M1 and I thought '££££££££ to that' , but was then held up by a Merc SLK !!
after SITTING ON HI BUMPER FOR A BIT he shifted over and I plonked my foot down looking for this white object in the distance sitting in the 'fast' lane.
OOOHHHHH, the look on his face as I passed him in my old 'T' reg doing an alledged ( cough cough ) 110 and still mightighly pulling was an absolute picture !!!! He pulled over then into the near lane and sat there whilst we then went throughthe 50 zone at Wakefield.
Wonder why I didn't get any eye contact from him when I pulled off and he went past !!??? lol
Fitted my wheels this morning

Beeyootiful Druid . I have the BBS split rim version of that on the C70 . A pita to clean but they look great.
Like these wheels on the T4's
//edit
or a GDi even...!
Got a set on my S40 T4 in black, they look much better than your old ones.
Put a deposit down on a V40 so now back in the fold, it's not fast but it is sporty.
I reckon it's a DIESEl pat you know those anti social sporty things lol
I polished 1 door today.At least something better than nothing.
I picked this little thing up cheap, FSH nearly top spec except for the winter pack.

Nice looking car.My 15 year old S40 t4 surprised me how it drives,better cornering than t5 from stock too.In a short sprint I`ve beaten my P2 explod 271bhp lol
So, you're enjoying it then?
