replace remote locking
Hi
I have recently purchased a V40 estate. It only came with one key. My question is can i purchase a new remote locking unit with fobs (genuine) from an auction site and simply swap? Will it work, or will it cost me a fortune in additional bits and recoding? Any help appreciated Neil |

I bought a remote locking unit and fobs from a member on this site and it was only a 10 minute job to fit, I also bought a replacement key from an online locksmith which will unlock the car, but have still been too tight to pay Volvo £50 to pair it to the immobiliser - at least I have a solution if I manage to lock the paired key in the car! Also - good to see another Lincolnshire dweller on the forum :-)
