Hi All. Just picked up my 2003 S60 D5 SE with sports pack, 18" Nebula wheels and winter pack - Very nice, if a little harsh on bad roads! I might have to change down to 17" wheels if the arch-rubbing and ride get me down but love the car. I was given 2 folding keyfobs but neither of them will stay folded. I have had a look and I can separate the key from the electronics but I can't see a way of taking it apart to try and fix the locking mechanism. Has anybody else had this and, if so, have you managed to fix it? Not a big issue but still annoying as open it is a BIG key and, from what I read on here, expensive to get replaced. Dave PS: BTW - thanks to all contributors, this forum has been an invaluable source of info prior to buying.

I don't know about your key problem but with 17" wheels they still rub the arches when on full lock. I'd stick with the wheels you have your car must look great with wheels that size!

Thanks D5 Monkey. I had a little play over the weekend, pouring alcohol cleaner and wd40 into it etc but with no luck. I agree that it seems to be a lug or a cam that's broken. Ah well, I'll just have to suffer the huge key in my pocket :angry2: Dave

Could you get it fixed/replaced under warranty at all (i know its outside the three years, but if you've just picked it up then i presume you have a warranty - assuming its from a volvo dealer) Just a thought
