Not sure if the Auto box is the same set up as the manuals but the switch for a manual is on the side of the gearbox, you need to remove the airfilter box for better access and then use a deep 22mm socket to remove it.

If it is the same set up then thats how you do it.

If anybody can tell me how to do an auto for definate i'd be grateful also

Could be the PNP switch or "Gearshift Position Sensor". Its located on top of the gearbox where the gearshift cable attaches. Unfortunately its also gonna be more expensive than manual box reverse switch.

See here about 1/2 way down the page (ignore the first few posts)

It wouldn't take that long, just remove the airbox, and its underneath that on top of the gearbox, then its just a few nuts and it should come off. The only problem is alignment, the unit has to be aligned, theres a second page to the volvospeed one that describes fitting the PNP switch.
