Dealership says axle needs to be replaced
Not unless you want to die in a head on smash with a truck.
If front suspension seizes then you will swerve to one side , you may hit the sidewalk or the truck , take your pick
Very hard to start
Sounds like you need to replace fuel filter. that is my first suggestion. Hopefully it is not the fuel pump but I do suggest replacing the filter.
Unable to remove rear brake pads on Volvo V40 2001
Rear pistons need to be rotated anti clockwise when pushed in.
There is a special tool to do this with, but you could try rotating it with a vice when pushing them in.
This is a verry common procedure for cars with rear disk breaks.
Otherwise the handbrake would not work it they could push themselves in.
Have fun

These Central Electronics Units(CEMs) are available from used car parts dealers. You need to note all the numbers on your unit(from the label on top). You don't have to completely remove the unit to see these, just remove the trim. You run a risk of course because you will get very little in the way of warranty but it's a whole lot cheaper than paying through the nose for a 'genuine' Volvo spare.
