Anyhow the price for the key,MY03 S60, is £429.25!!!!!!!!!
When I asked how they justify that no explanation was forthcoming,the lad on the phone sounded embarrassed and he apologised.
So fair warning folks DONT LOSE YOUR KEYS.
Check that loss of keys isn't covered under insurance. Either motor or house under personal belongings.

When I got my first Volvo in 1976, I remember thinking that the cars were great value but they got you back with the price of spares. As my dad used to say sometimes, " could you just check that price and that you haven't added the date in by accident." God rest his soul.
