I've got a few problems with my V50 Diesel Sport.
Rear doors sometimes don't unlock when the auto lock comes on. Mainly on one door.
Problems engaging gears, 2 3 and 4th. Grinds then engages with a push.
Radio won't release CDs on occasion.
Any help would be good.
Thanks

I'm sorry but I can't resist ( and NO i'm not an aircraft mechanic)

Q:Rear doors sometimes don't unlock when the auto lock comes on. Mainly on one door
A:Auto lock is supposed to lock the doors - both of them...

Q:Problems engaging gears, 2 3 and 4th
A: Try 1 and 5

Q:Radio won't release CDs on occasion.
A:Which Occassion - Birthday or Anniversary ? - Try less cake or cheesy tunes

No Harm meant - sorry No idea how to help - Hopefully put a smile on your face though....

Difficulty engaging gears is usually due to the clutch not fully disengaging. This would cause a crunch as the synchro rings tried to engage and offer increased resistance to their engaging. See your dealer to have the clutch take-up point adjusted and this should fix the problem. The door & CD problem seem to be most likely related to the computer programming but may be some vibration-ralated mechanical fault. Again the dealer should be able to check these. Unfortunately, doing it yourself can be rather daunting these days and may make things worse! Even the Vovo people often have difficulty due increasingy complexity.
