Thread: TD5 issues, LR first timer.. Help!!!

Does it do this anywhere? Or just at home?

Thanks Tobie. IT happens everywhere.

The problem is solved!!!

After further investigation I removed the pushed in key pads on both key fobs and found that the little silver rectangle piece on the circuit board with the black dot -that you push to unlock the car was not sitting straight (on both keys),

SO... I carefully straightened the little silver rectangle thing and now both keys are unlocking again. Now I just need to get new covers for the buttons, any suggestions??

Thanks to all those who took the time to post on this thread - your advice is much appreciated.

Until next time...

Also this one. Slightly cheaper. Ebay is they way to go for these.

UNCUT LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 REMOTE FOB KEY SHELL CASE - eBay (item 360349163184 end time Apr-02-11 17:44:25 PDT)

Also the mini fob does the job.

Most likely the button switch has broken off the circuit board in the fob.

Have a good search for 'key' or 'fob' and it should give you plenty of options.

It did enter my mind to respond with 'Well,.... two fobs are stuffed' but that would have been uncharitable

Unfortunately, you will find that the 'little silver rectangular piece' will not last long and it is the pins that have almost sheared. Either you are really good with a soldering iron and solder the pins or you replace the key.

Best solution...buy new keys from one of our preferred suppliers(cheaper than LR) and then find a member with a Nanocom to match the key to the vehicle.
