Gotta be worth doing, surely.

At one point I misplaced the key for my 740, phoned the local Volvo main dealer, new key arrived within two days, cost around £30. Of course I then found the original key lol.

if you do end up having it collected,, make sure you keep the wheels,, as they are worth a fair few quid on thier own

if i could id swap em for my steelies if they are just getting weighed in

I did have a spare parts car so could of but it got nicked :-(

This had a transponder key too though so would need another ecu ?

My scrappie just rang me, he is only offering me £100 for the 764 TD which is much heavier than yours! I thought scrap metal was up in price again at the moment? I'll look into this later, off to work now

Just bought a new key for my 960 from the local dealer - £18 inc Vat. Gotta be worth asking the question of your dealer before scrapping?

Good luck,

scrap price is falling........ china's economy is screwed so there is only 1 way it is going to go, back to £50 for a car ultimately

Laney there is someone in the wanted page looking for a 760 you would get more than a £100 from him surely than you would get from a scrappie..regards sunnyvic

I need to do a lot of work to her to get a fair price, plus she has nigh on brand new expensive tyres on her which I could have as spares, plus other parts. If I do scrap her I won't feel guilty as I gave away my last 940 TD in order to avoid a Volvo being scrapped and lost myself a few few quid in the process; I can't afford to keep doing that. It is sacrilege though to scrap a rustless body with a D24Tic that has done less than 120 thou and whose pump has done less than 40 thou, I must take the pump off if she is scrapped

Whilst I hope you are either able to sell your car or obtain a replacement key, if in the end you decide to send it for scrap, please could I buy the owner's manual? You can reach me on 01845524517.
