Electrics: 850: remote transceiver compatibility question

[CNGBiFuel]

Yeah, who else parks by ear? When the boy-racer/ white Audi barges in - plays chicken, he'll be pretending.

As he catches not one straight panel on the whole thing, grin and look him straight in the eye.

They were subsequently upgraded/updated to a unit which is used in the P2s. In the P2 the receiver unit is built into the mirror and coded to the vehicle; I don't know where that how or where it is located the later P1s.

Anyone know of a firm which specialises in Volvo electronic breakdown and its rectification? (2004 XC70 auto) I really don't want to throw mine away, but no-one in the normal local garage business has a clue where to start. I just switched it off one day, then it never ran again! Too unskilled to do it myself, so happy to pay.......Plateman, Berks.

You might get a better set of answers if you post your query in the 2004 XC70 section here https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=19


Just one question - did the starter motor turn over or was it completely dead?
