More info please...
Vehicle type...
Remote type...single button, dual button? photo?
Can only help if details are provided.

If..If it is a Disco 2 & for that matter a Disco 1. take the key/plip apart & inspect the buttons. Have they dettached from the circuit board (common on the D2) & a relative easy fix if handy with a soldering iron.
If a disco 1, sometimes the nipple on the button (yellow bit) comes away from the main part...if handy & delicate you are...u can re-glue the nipple togethor....but be careful if superglue goes elsewhere the plip is naft.

hope this helps;)

I had the same problem and ended up replacing rubber button with a blanking grommet.
Caught the other key before it was too far gone and smeared a layer of Pro seal over key button, this then sets like rubber.

I have the same problem and I am trying to get my hands on 2 key bodies. The circuitry is fine just the body's. Does anyone sell replacements?
