I've been reading a bit about them, shall read some more! They just strike me as something a bit unusual and somewhat more interesting than the V50.

Hey team!

I ended up sealing the sunroof with strip sealant that you use for gaps in windows as for the life of me I couldn't stop it leaking despite putting new hose on it.

Still goes well, sounds great and is relatively quick. Performs the job of being the family/tip hack well and has been trouble free. Sorely tempted to swap it out for an S60R....
Have you checked the windscreen? Around 2009 Volvo were using a glass sealant that fails easily. I had to have the windscreen removed and refitted in both my C30 and my o/h's XC60. If you push the inside of the windscreen at the top near the roof and it moves, the screen sealant has failed. A very common fault on this age of Volvo. In both instances with ours, the water runs down the pillars and soaks the footwell carpets.
