Hello and Welcome me please and Thank You All etc
New to me is a 99xc, sold my 88 765TiR IRS swap 20psi from the "K" block ipd springs sway stainless exhaust brakes 16"se wheels etc etc etc 800,000km purchased at 65,000km
$35k invested sold $2k
That volvo had one of the dreaded 4 sided keys. First trouble I drilled the Lock Cylinder out.
within a few days with this new xc I have the same problem.
My question, can I do the same thing. Drill out the lock. I live in the middle of NoWhere. So I am not concerned with theft (I was not with my 765TiR).
I see the antenna ring, so I know I would need to use the key. But if the tumblers are out of the way???
But there seems to be a couple extra locking points I do not understand.
Does anyone know if I can look at the schematics/technical of the locking mechanism.
Are there any other things that need to be done. Like the cylinder removed from the car. Then some other pins drilled out.
I hate to dump too much money into this. I want to be sure it will be a long life with me. If there are many things wrong with it.
Main reason I am hesitant to spill the $000 on a new one, is they are prone to failure. This is the same reason I drilled my 765 out.
Just wanna make sure it will work if there are not any other things in-line.
Thanks for being...
