    !!! Cost of replacement key !!!

    !!!!!

    Have just been quoted $434.57 to replace my Disco key.


    The rubber pads perished ages ago and foolishly, rather than replace them I simply pulled them out and would put my finger through the hole to press the little micro button inside. Now the buttons have flicked off....it means a whole new key.

    $434.57

    I can lock and unlock the car with the key in the door handle, but when I open the car door the alarm sounds till I turn the ignition on. Anyone know if this can be disabled?

    I might have one for an early D2 (its a 315 Mhz key) - a guy at work with a disco said he wanted it 2 months ago but I think he's forgotten. PM me if you're interested. I wont put the price but If you have a look in the markets section you can probably still find it. Damn workmates.....

    I'm always seeing them on eBay and I'm pretty certain they don't cost that much.

    Why not just replace the switches?

    If the switches are faulty / broken, then can they be replaced? Something like Jaycar's catalogue Nr SP0600 - a single pole, single throw pc mounted switch would work, as they are about 0.7mm in size. Less than $1 each and a couple of minutes with some solder wick (Jaycar NS3020) ( to remove the existing solder) and solder to put the new ones in, should do the trick. Altronics and others can also supply the switches. Worth a try.

    Then either get a new key body with the new buttons or the silicon buttons (polymex) into your existing key body.

    Also, see this thread - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...ss-remote.html - similar comments, although they talk about SP0601

    How can you tell which key frequency is for your model Disco when ordering?

    Generally, the 99 models have 315MHz & the later cars 433MHz.
