Picked up a v70.....only problem is that it didn't come with an owners manual. Does anyone know where a printable version can be found or send me a copy of one???

You really don't want to print an owners manual. Just buy one from eBay or the dealer. Here is the link to the one on-line:
'95 855 T-5R M, Panther - 22/28 mpg, 546,000 miles
'95 955 T-5R Yellow Wagon, Lemonade, 180,000 miles

That's a great link rspi, I didn't know Volvo has them online.

I found a manual for my XC on Ebay for little money and it looks like new. Might require some patience, but they can be found.

You had my hopes up there for a minute, but I see that the documents on the Volvo site are just the owners' handbooks that tell you how to check the oil and change a tyre and that's about it! To my mind a manual is a two inch thick book that tells you everything you need to know to maintain and repair a car up to and including a complete engine and transmission overhaul. My understanding is that in fact there is no such printed document for a V70XC, but is that right?

What you are looking for is VIDAS or something like that. It's a software that you can get. I've seen them mentioned on several forums. I purchased a copy of a similar 1 on eBay for$19 or something like that.
