Looks like punctuation and speeling are the critical topics today! Ha Ha, I knew you'd all be a little strange here.
I don't suppose anyone knows the answer to my replacement key fob issue (see other thread). I'm planning on spending $350 very soon aaaghhh!

Hi Simon,
Welcome to AULRO!

Re your key fob, I'm sorry but I have no advice to offer (actually that applies re almost any topic ). I just want you to feel better and so I will tell you that I have just ordered two key/fobs for my D3. They will cost $425 EACH to be supplied and configured to my car. Oh, I shouldn't forget to tell you that they have to come out from UK (6 weeks supply time).

on the key fobs ...maybe ask someone like Range Rove Automotive in Mitcham if they have any second hand ones, ( from wrecked vehicles etc ) they should be able to program your car ECU to work with them ...at least it can be done that way with a D1 I'm not sure about a D2.

oh and welcome tp the forum ...

"just ordered two key/fobs for my D3. They will cost $425 EACH to be supplied and configured to my car".

Wow! I don't feel better though, probably a bit relieved that I wont be buying two, but that's about all. Did you loose the others in a card game?

I sat in a new D3 in Doncaster the other day, much better ergonomics than the D2, more power, easier access, better designed, but for me the D2 still has the looks . Nice to hear the D3 also has a Jag engine, bye bye buick, LR must be persisting with their policy of designed-in oil leaks.

No, no card game.

I bought the D3 in mid-Nov as part of a deceased estate. The widow, unfortunately, couldn't find the second set.

I like to have two sets handy and leave one at a friends house, in case I get caught losing one when I'm out.

With the 6 weeks supply time, I'm pleased I had ordered them a while ago, as I've managed to misplace my only set.

I know, when I find them, they will be in a logical spot - but which one.

Am currently having a break from "ripping the house apart" to find them.

G'day Simon, welcome aboard.

The only thing that leaks in my 97 SE V8 is my wallet, usually at the nearest Mobil servo. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I'll keep an eye out, good to know local owners.

On another note, (to all members here) my first ever car was a '65 VW beetle. I've never sensed a feeling of belonging to car with such an enthusiastic following since then as I do now. Damn glad to be touching base with you all.

Gday Simon welcome to AULRO
