You need to call Volvo roadside assistance and get the car towed to a Volvo shop. You're still under warranty - I can't even imagine why you're on here asking for help. CALL VOLVO!!!!

If it is a petrol then it is because you put the wrong fuel in it! Otherwise if it is a Diesel then we could do with more info. Did it happen immediately after the tank was filled leaving you stranded on the forecourt? Does it turn over at all? and anything else you might feel useful?

Who Designed the Volvo V50?
Does anybody know who designed the Volvo V50? No, There is always a chief designer! The person who first sketched the concept!

I don't understand your question. Volvo designed it... are you looking for the specific people on the team that designed it? That list would be long and I'd bet money it's not even published anywhere. the Chief Designer at the time the V50 was first made was Guy Burgoyne

Volvo choice of car colour?
There are 2 colours short-listed for my brand new Volvo V50 but I'm not sure which! Can you help me. They are: ICE WHITE ORINOCO BLUE (Sort of Bluey Greeny colour - like the sea in a way) It's not the R-Design but it does have cream leather. It does do a lot of Motorway miles. London-Yorkshire and back once a week

I would go with the blue. The white is plain and the blue shows more style and personality. Reference:My opinion.

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Volvo V50 occupies the price range of smaller sport sedans such as the Audi A3 and BMW 3-Series.

The more affordable Audi A3 is a closer rival to the V50, but the A3 isn’t as roomy inside and doesn’t have as many of the safety features that are optional in the V50.

The A3 does feature a more fuel-efficient, and surprisingly powerful, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

In its base 2.5i form, the Subaru Impreza is a much more affordable alternative, with standard all-wheel drive and performance from its horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that’s similar to that from the base five in the Volvo.

But the so-called Impreza Wagon is no longer a wagon—it’s a shorter five-door hatchback.

The 9-3 SportCombi, from Sweden’s other car brand, Saab, is perhaps the V50’s most direct rival; compared to the V50, the 9-3 SportCombi doesn't offer any more usable interior space, but it does promise more performance, with a more powerful line of four-cylinder and V-6 turbocharged engines.

And all-wheel drive is now available throughout the 9-3 lineup—as opposed to on a single model as in the V50.

The new VW Jetta Sportwagen is another close competitor; compared to the V50, the Sportwagen also feels very refined inside and has the settled ride of a larger car; the VW also has an interior configuration that feels roomier than that of the V50, although the V50 maintains a more distinctive appearance and feel inside.
