Having a few probs with my xc90 2.4 xc d5. 163. It. Broke down on me two days ago and now the garage who I have never used before has it. Got the codes read today and they are relating to low fuel pressure , transmission and cruise control. I am hoping it's not to dawnting. Has anyone else had these problems any advise would be great ???

low fuel pressure fuel filter

Some of those codes are ones that come up from time to time on many cars with no problems. The transmission and cruise warnings trigger very easily and then go next time you start the car, but the fault will be logged.
If you don't have lots of lights on the dash with associated warning triangles lit permanently then I would guess that most of the faults are historic false alarms.
Theres lots on here about low fuel pressure, this can trigger major engine warning lights on dash....major panic the first time you see them...but then they go next time you start the car. Changing the fuel filter is first place to start with this. Alternatively it could be injectors (not had this myself, but a few on here have posted about them).

So all in all, don't panic because of stored fault codes, the xc90 is very prone to false alarms and temporarly disabling anti skid, ABS etc because of a sensor misread on start up.
