Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Check the engine mountings.

Its struggling to start when cold and my service light has come on and it only just been serviced, am wondering wether the DPF could be causing it.

Is it the service light or the check engine light?

Its the service light, i took it on a good long run 300 miles and its starting a bit better now. Just the rocking is there a chance it could be the dog bone mount?

Just been to my mechanic and he said there is a bit of vibration but not a terrible amount to worry about. After 10 years of driving petrol cars these diesels take some getting used to lol.
