In the last week since getting her running again I have been using the car every day. I have not changed the suspected sensor and only checked the coolant since changing the radiator. I have had no reoccurence of the non starting problem and can detect no difference in the performance of the engine. Smooth tick over, same MPG as before..... weird.
Thank you for your comments Andrew. I agree with your thoughts about head gasket failure and in due course will do the deed but for now there is no sign of failure. I will get a compression test done and let you know what the results are. For now all I can say is...... Volvo have built a damned good car. This is one is certainly living up to the bullet proof reputation.
