Black smoke is rich mixture, so something is wrong with the fuel management system. Get is connected to a pro grade scan tool computer and check long term and short term fuel trim. Check for fault codes on sensors. https://www.google.com/search?q=volvo+xc90+d5+black+smoke ..

Are these dashboard error codes or are they from a diagnostic scanner? A diagnostic scanner or an OBD2 scanner should have other letters and numbers as part of the code. ( one letter then four numbers).

Headlights come out first, then the bumper cover/grille, then the core support. Big bolts go up from underneath. There is a youtube video on engine removal that will show radiator removal also.

P0087 (Low Fuel Rail Pressure) Could be a bad fuel pump, or fuel pressure sensor.

According to the manual, after 5 hours the immobilizer will auto reset

Test the battery voltage, a low bat voltage can cause this on 2010 models

That's the common linkage problem in the shift mechanism. If you get the cover off of the shifter, the yellow plastic part inside tends to break in two, which makes the shifter go back into manual.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a separate fuse for the left and the right headlights. Check your power distribution center.

Try running a laser cleaning disk in it to clean the laser. Often times it has dust inside and distorts audio and video.

The best way here is to use the Volvo VIDA software and interface to get a readout on what the car is complaining about. Look for an aftermarket Volvo shop. They will have the computer interface and charge you less than the dealer to read the codes.

Check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir and also see if it needs flushing. You could probably "cheat' a flush by using a turkey baster to suck out all the fluid and replace it with fresh fluid, then a day or so later, repeat it. Do this a few times until the fluid remains pretty clean (meaning you've replaced it all) and see if it behaves normally. Going from memory, I think your car needs a specific Pentosin fluid (CH11? CH202? something like that) - make SURE you get the right fluid.
