I recently replaced the central control locking unit of my 2005 C70 which is the same unit used on the P2 V70's with a unit from a breaker that came complete with 2 key fobs - try "Minty" on this forum.

The '98 V70 P1 has either the same unit used in the earlier 850s up to mid/late 1998 or the later '98 updated unit which is also used in some of the "cross-over" P2's - the C70 (850 based) uses the same unit 1998 to 2005. If you buy a second hand unit, that unit should come with the fob(s) which will be coded to it. The unit is a straight swap over and takes only a few minutes to do depending upon how easy you find it to get in under the dash immediately above the accelerator pedal in an RHD car.

To check which unit you need use a mirror and torch to establish which unit you have - if you slide off the unit from its bracket without removing the multi-plugs it has just enough slack on the cables to be able to read the part number which makes sure you get the right replacement - you don't even need to slide it back on the bracket - it will just hang there on the cables until you can get a replacement.
