The new key must be programmed to match your vehicle. Any Volvo dealership or good locksmith will know what to do.

Buzzing can be an issue with the door lock or central locking mechanism. You could try hunting for where the sound is more accurately. This will sound a bit silly but try this. Sound can travel through solid surfaces so can sound like they are coming from somewhere else. Put your ear against the side of the door panel nearest the handle and lock the car. Your listening to see where the noise is loudest. Listen at the hinge end as well to check if it's actually coming from inside the engine bay rather than inside the door.

This is one of those 'Yes - No' answers. Rear seat that drop were an option on the V40 so the answer could be no. Take a look through the left side of the back window at the rear parcel shelf, next to the left head rest. Your looking for a small push button panel, about the size of cigarette box, with two buttons on it. If it's not there the rear seats are fixed into position. If there is one there you might be able to 'trip' the lock spring from inside the trunk. This method is for a much newer model so it might not work. Look inside the trunk, high up on the rear seat where the flat of the seat meets the parcel shelf. There should be a metal rail going all the way across the car. I've attached a photo. Looking straight up at it there are holes in it and you should be able to see a spring or a cable through one of them. Using a chunky, flat blade screwdriver you might be able to 'flick' the latch to release one side of the back seat. The spring is a strong one sort will fight you. To do this you'll be lying with you legs hanging out of the trunk wrestling with it, Probably swearing a lot as well. If you manage to drop the back seat you probably need a small person to wriggle through the hole as I think the rear seat pad needs to be lifted for it to drop all the way.

There is no access from behind the rear seats. You can either call your Volvo dealership and they can advise a trusted locksmith or use your spare key. All Volvos have two keys.

you can use a Stud Remover set, or you put two nuts on the threads and lock them together with two spanners against each other, then undo using the upper nut. https://www.google.com/search?q=stud+remover+set ..

The ROPS suystem is stand alone and does a self test each time the key is turned to the ON position. If the system detects an error, it disables and sets the light. You will need to have the car hooked to a scanner that is able to access the system and find out what is thinks is faulty. Could be a rodent chewed a wire, corrosion at one of the contacts, or an actual bad sensor or module.
