Ok guys, I got the car back from the service. Here follows the list (codes) of the spares replaced (under warranty, no money spent) and relative quantities. I'll keep my finger crossed and hope that the moaning noise won't come back anytime soon.

4 years on ... I'm curious, did the second fix work? My 2012 D2 has a similar issue.

Since you're asking, after 50k km the clutch noise is now back again. I'll probably try to get the problem solved under the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty

Oh dear. Hope you have some luck with the warranty.

I wonder if its due to a fluid leak (I think VeeForty mentioned this)? That would fit with the noise being worse on a cold start, then improving as the fluid wears off/burns off. The trouble is it could be brake fluid, engine oil, or gearbox oil.

Mine has signs of a slight leak under the bell housing, I think, which I ought to check out at some point.
