Apologies Dave, and all helping - I'd intended to post a reply saying, 'job done' but things dragged on and then my mum ended up in hospital and things have been sketchy since.
We checked the brake fluid and it registered 3% so definitely needs changing (the scale went up to 4%). Given the circumstances, I called the volvo garage and they charge £47 to do the job all in (hardly more than parts to do it ourselves), so I think I'll just book it in with them and get it done - tho even committing to a specific day's tricky at the moment. We've sprayed the bleed nipples so they'll undo easier.
Oh, and we changed the window scrapers yesterday, that definitely felt good!
Thanks all, C
