Well, it’s the shell and the important electronic gubbins I think. It doesn’t include the ‘blade’ (the actual old-fashioned key) though.

Re: MY21 only 1 main key confirmed

There is a lot of talk in this thread about key fobs costing £75. I can't find anything official to back that up...

The latest price list still shows fobs at £175.

Can anyone point me at any Volvo communication/press release etc?

Re: Current XC40 would you purchase again

Surely the biggest driver, though, is the huge % of buyers who buy on lease, for whom all the options are prohibitively expensive as they're written off over 36 months - have them included on, say, a Vorsprung model & they cost you half as much. I think you have nailed it, right there. I suspec...

I’ve had a price for the part and it’s just shy of £280!!

Think I will manage without one then! It's not about the money, it's about wanting to feel I'm getting some sort of value for my money. This doesn't.

Re: Flexible boot floor

I'm in the same boat. I had a flexible floor in an XC60 - probably close to 10 years ago - and found it useful. However, I didn't want to buy the convenience pack because I didn't want "keyless drive".

So, a flexible floor as an accessory may be worthwhile, provided it's not a crazy price.

Re: MY21 only 1 main key confirmed

As far as I can see, the service plan would pay for itself in two years at that price, deffo worth having. I believe the service includes 12 months volvo recovery even if its on the service plan, so there's 3 years with the car, then another 2 years with the service, at around £120 a year? I think ...
