Exactly! Get the Bentley manual for your bedside (available on Amazon), and optionally some Volvo "green manuals".
A small set of good tools to get started (Craftsman is inexpensive and plenty good), including 6-point metric sockets and combination wrenches. Get other tools as you need them. I also like to use nitrile or latex gloves which keeps harmful chemicals off your hands and keeps them gack-free for work the next day.
Read the BrickBoard and SwedishBricks regularly to learn what problems other people have and how they solve them, and remember **there are NO stupid questions**... I can not emphasize this enough. Don't be afraid to ask any questions you have. You'll save yourself some frustration, and there are lots of us who may have the same question. Volvo people are a friendly bunch. 100% of us love to help out and 99.9% of us are ego-free.
I've learned everything I know (which isn't saying much) from SwedishBricks and the BrickBoard.
