Then go to the top right hand corner where i picture of a bloke is with a spark plug in the background. Press play.

Although this is in Swedish, you should get what is going on.

I pressume this is upto date as the report went out on 08.10.2008.

Basically, original volvo spark plugs are failing, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to the engine. Volvo know this, but no one wanted to be interviewed. What the would say is that if you do a general service on your car, ie minor service which includes changing the plugs, they will not cover the costs if things go wrong as you didn't take it to them in the first place for a service.
