Key cover for d4.

[wombathole]

After 6 years the key covers have fallen off / worn out. For $8 on the web, I've purchased new covers which work fine. Much cheaper than buying a new key remote. FYI. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2016/08/448.jpg

The later D4 key covers a dirt cheap also a recall out on the rubber coated ones

Mine fell apart as well and after getting ribbed by my son about the condition of my key I did look at those covers.

But I opted for the original Land Rover part LR052882 that replaces the outer shell and apparently won't fall apart.

Bought mine from advance factor in the UK about $22 delivered from memory and about 15 mins of fiddling about changing over the inards.

Hello,
Incase anyone needed part numbers for the genuine key fob covers:

These are the Discovery part numbers:
The early large style key fob covers: LR052882
The current style key fob covers: LR059382 which supersedes to LR078922 (both numbers are in stock locally)

The are indeed quite cheap to purchase from your dealer.

While there is no recall, it is subject to a 'technical bulletin' LTB00631v3 & will be replaced whilst under warranty if reported by the customer.

Thanks for this post - after trying to stick the rubber back on (not very successful), I did a search and found this thread. Just called the dealer and was plesantly surprised to find the cost (March 2017) for the old style is only $21 and they will do the swap over for me.

I got the new cover that supersedes the original cover. Last week it too started to fall apart. I thought it was plastic compared to the rubber one, but alas, this one is also delaminating after a year

You can get these leather protective covers from eBay. I've got two of them - have found that they work very well. [wink11]

Yeah, same here. The replacement falls apart in the same manner as the old.

I'm waiting on delivery of the newer and physically smaller / lighter style key fob shell ~$12 I think I paid ex ebay. I intend to do a heart transplant as per this Disco3 post.

Job done, works like a bought one. And not only is the key fob upgraded, my D4 has been upgraded to a Range Rover - at least that's what the key fob now says. [bigrolf]

I bought 2 of these silicon covers, in "his" and "hers" colours and fitted them to our Disco keys.
They offer excellent protection, and also have "Range Rover" on the front!
