Oh for gods sake, another problem!

This S40 is doing my head and wallet in now. Damn thing continues to disintegrate. Yesterday I put the key in and it popped up on the display 'Steering Failure System Service' and yup, you guessed it, it wouldn't unlock the steering wheel.

I'm waiting for the car to be recovered and I'm actually using a hire car (a diesel Insignia; I'll have my Volvo thanks even with the faults!) as I can't borrow one! Any thoughts/experience of this fault and how many less vital organs I might need to sell to fix it? Ta muchly

It cost me £220 to get that fixed on mine

That's not too drastic then. Thanks for the heads up. You don't remember what the actual fault was by any chance or was it just a software glitch? Ta

I got the same error message but rather than not unlock it wouldn't lock, if it knows there's a problem with the steering it won't let the car start because for safety reasons.

Righty, that's helpful thanks. It won't be looked at till Monday now and with Mrs94 being induced on Tuesday I've hired the Insignia out till the end of the week. Please get me my Volvo back!!!
