hard starting V70-XC70 2001

Hi all,
My recently aquired (80467 miles) 2001 n/a v70 has had the auto replaced (2010 at 65138 miles) and the etm replaced (still white label) and the software upgraded (2006 at 35454 miles) all by volvo. They also replaced the upper engine mount (to the square one 2005 at 28105 miles) and i replaced the lower transmission mount after the purchase.
So here goes: when i turn the engine off, i still get a thud thud from the engine bay and on inspection, it feels like the upper mount is the culprit. It moves back and forward a lot to my mind.
Sometimes i feel the engine hunts a little on idle but it does not register on the tacho.
Sometimes it is a little jerky when coming to a stop.
Still the ETM you think?
Sometimes when the engine is hot it takes a lot (10) of turns of the starter motor before it fires. The previous owner had it towed once when it wouldnt start and the techys at the dealership could find no fault.
Every thing is intermittent.
Any enlightenment would be appreciated with thanks.
David
Now that i read what i have written it appears i may expect too much from the upper engine mount upgrade!
