Thread: Key Replacement Concern and help!!

see if you can get a blank key on ebay, then take it to your LR mechanic who will set it up. Is your alarm going off when you open the door with the key only? if so, the LR mechanic can "tune" your D2 so the key OR the button will open the door.

If it is just the case that is buggered on your fob, look here:
LANDROVER DISCOVERY 2 TD5 NEW KEY FOB REMOTE CASE (eBay item 250784797458 end time 06-Apr-11 19:44:34 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

Or Here:
Land Rover Remote Key Fob Discovery 2 Button Repair Pad (eBay item 200584164987 end time 06-Apr-11 20:13:01 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

Otherwise, the blank keys do come up on ebay regularly and are a lot more cost effective.

Good luck

A series 1 steering lock assy will fit and apart from not being able to fit the key in to the fob is fine.

What exactly is the issue with the key?

I could be wrong but have you tried a locksmith? I was under the impression they can program brand new keys for most cars for about $90-100.

The switch has broken away from the circuit board in the FOB.

I had a chat with Ross about it earlier. Unless it can be soldered back on, he's on the hunt for a new key.

I recommend buying a brand new key from OS. Try Britcar (UK) Ltd

This is where I bought mine. Much cheaper.

Also if you do a search on this forum under D2 you will find heaps of info. I'm pretty sure a topic comes up on keys every two weeks.

Mate get Ross to take his key to an electronics tech, like a bloke that fixes plasma TV's etc. I had one of these guys solder my button block back onto my fob. Good as new

As Discobaker has said, someone with a good soldering eye & he save a shyteload of money. I have repaired dozens of keys for this exact reason.

Goodluck.
