Thanks
The reason it's good practice to remove the black (negative) lead first is to prevent you causing a short circuit if you catch your spanner on any metal work if you were to remove the red (positive) lead first. There is no electrical significance to it.

No diagnostics needed. If you haven't bought a battery yet, dealers are often very competitive and the Volvo batteries are the best you can get.
