Is this the reason why I'm knocking?

Here you are - just check if that alignment is correct.
Install the upper spring seat so that the holes in both the spring seats line up.

Still not had, or have the time to do this yet, but I will try and do this before our trip to France at the end of the month!

In the meantime I'm hoping try and not use the car, but the radio turned helps!!

Again will report back once done.

That's a great link for most non engine jobs, although most of the engine section would be good for 1.9L turbo engines.

It might well be that the US version is based directly on the the Volvo OEM manuals.

The US version might have a few differences in exhaust (CAT specs in particular), lights, wiring and most important of all, CUP HOLDERS!
