[DEFENDERZOOK]

where abouts are you.....?

try one of the parts suppliers advertised at the top of each page here......


even if they are not in your city....im sure they can ship one to you.......
or at least tell you where to get one from.......

Are you looking for the small button in the middle of the remote or are you after an entire new remote?

It is a common problem that the unlock button wears out and AFAIK there is no replacement part for that, you need to get the whole remote replaced. The guys at MR Auto (near Brisbane) are pretty straight up with their customers and have yet to find a cheap solution so I am pretty sure there is not one. They are trying to find someone who will make the plastic casing for them but no luck there.

Going by the heaps of calls I made around Brisbane most LR mechanics keep one in stock and charge about $400 to supply and change over for you. They re-use the actual key in the new key fob.

a cheap solution.......not the prettiest.....is to pick out the remains of the the rubber.....
this will expose the switch......

now cut a piece of glad wrap or similar and drop it into the hole to cover the button......then fill the hole with silicone and let it cure overnight......

(the glad wrap is to stop the sealant from sticking to the button and circuit board......it should stick to the sides of the hole only........)


this is soft enough to flex and press the button like the original rubber did.......

on a black remote......use black silastic so it doesnt stand out.......

all you need is the smallest tube available.......which will also be the cheapest.........


a $5 tube of sealant is a lot cheaper than $400 replacement......and will work just as well......

Hi Karlsgirl,

Try eBay, I just picked up a key from the UK for AU$20 plus postage, my remote did the same as yours with the buttons secumbed to the Mrs long fingernails!!!
The changover process is a bit fiddly but if you are carefull the guts and the key come out fairly easily and can be transferred into the other case.
I saw the gladwrap and silastic idea but thought I would give this a go in the meantime.

HI guys this info may help some of you. DON'T BUY NEW KEY !. I found the way of fixing my aged remote. my buttons were almost non existant after years of digging with finger nails into it. I got this replacement pad from polmex site that looks like number eight. not hard to fit if you follow instruction. I SAVED $200 and I am so excited. I have buttons FINALLY!!!

cheers:D

[onlyrover]

HI,
Here is the website for the replacement buttons, seems to be a pretty straight forward procedure and a lot cheaper than a new remote. Only $33 for D2 one.

They are from the same company just $4 dearer if you buy from Feebay, guess its to cover the listing fees.

Hi,
Just thought I would let you know that I bought a replacement remote pad from www.polmex.com.au and they work really well.

Just follow the instructions available from there website and it takes 2mins, only thing is that you loose the shiny front on the remote. But to save a fair bit of money who cares.

Now to go and order another one for the spare key.;)

cheers

[Wodnee]

Yep, just did both my keys for $70.
Works a treat & much better than fishing on flea-bay for solutions or keys that require reprogramming.

Quick question though: Is there any particular process to replace the battery or is it a straight pop one out / pop new one in?

[ozzytourer]

HI, I did the battery at the same time and going by the manual there is no special procedure required just pop it out and pop a new one in.

cheers
