Why is this so low on the front then?
I would say the air suspension on the front has been dropped down.
It has been dropped down, but they are not much taller at ride hight as it’s a low ride
I thought Volvo had only just introduced air on the steer axle.
No, think it’s been available since late 80’s.

Cos it has been slammed by one of my bro’s from da hood, wicked init. 
will be fitted with full air ,front an back
Well the air suspension went wrong again, while at Spa, Volvo Mechy turned up and replaced the ride height sensor, it’s made to Italy so I’m hoping its the right bit and that’s the problem sorted.
The one that pokes through the chassis on to the rod from the axles beam?

Yep that’s the one.
Check the pins on both plugs, make sure they are not pushed back into the plug. If they are, prise the back open, screw the plug on, push the pins in and clip the back on.
