Peter, thanks for the heads-up; I would certainly like to know more about what I can do in my driveway vs. what I must take to the dealer. Around my area, the dealers are $$$$ but there are very good indy shops that specialize in Volvo. However, I would still prefer to do my own work to the extent I can (I don't do undercarriage work at any rate).

Thanks to Klaus and the others who responded as well. One anecdote that I thought odd was related to me be a family member: on his '02 V70 the dealer charged $800 to replace the headlight lens (cracked) because the front bumper had to be removed to do this. True? I'm not sure but if so, that is a very Un-Volvo like design.
