I have managed to find a small local firm who are Volvo specialists! which could be very good in terms of their knowledge of the brand and maintenance pricing! they have advised as the car is 9 years old the cam belt would benefit from changing in the not to distant future albeit it has not done the 96k miles, and I am sure he can check out for the leaks and replace seals as needed then. I will keep an eye on things anyhow in terms of oil usage, I failed to mention I did once have a T5 hence an appreciation for Performance Volvos, so have some history and loved the car before being seduced by a new merc some 5-6 years back.
Thanks for the invite to the local southern meet, yes I will try and get to some.
Thanks again for your replies.
