FIX : Replace broken S40 FOB key blade

[owenscomp]

2004 S40 LSE (Old Style)

Was only given the valet key & working FOB when I bought my car. Could NOT get into my trunk (boot) because a master key is needed! There was no way I was going to pay $300 for a new key solution. Tired of climbing into the trunk to pull the emergency release, I set upon finding an economical solution.

Key blade was broken off in the FOB which complicated the matter just a tad. Found this video on How to Change a Flip Key Blade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqX768pnBFs

I carefully drilled out the broken bit and replaced with a new master key blade purchased from http://www.volvopartsdiscount.com ($ 37.21 !!!) The exact webpage is: http://www.volvopartsdiscount.com/p-818 ... y-cut.aspx

Happy to finally have trunk access & a spare key to boot!!
