Default Volvo Very Slugish when you accelerate

Hi there

I am new to this site and just recently purchased a volvo v70 estate.

My car is a volvo V70 Estate automatic - R reg (UK).

When i got the car i did a quick service.
The spark plugs were cleaned, air filter were cleaned also as well as the dis cap and rotar arm.

The problem is that when i accelerate the car is very slugish. The performance is NOT impressive for an automatice volvo. Its rather crap to be honest.

So, does anyone have any ideas what i need to do to improve the acceleration etc...???

The previous owner did very little with his car - maintance wise. The engine compartment was covered in road dust and untouched etc

Thank you for your help.
