Is it worth changing the seals as a precaution, given the age of the car (she's 16)?

Does anyone know where I can get the necessary seal kit from?

Is it a difficult job (given that my most complicated DIY job was to change a radiator (on previous car - Cavalier), and also did rocker cover gasket and back brake pads on my 940?

Would I need any special tools apart from my socket set and an assortment of screwdrivers and spanners?

Cheers
Volvo supply them for around £10 depends which ones you need. Most injectors simply pull out of the main seal being very carefull not to damage the tips
