You also might find a solution by going to LandyZone - Land Rover Forum and look on the forums there

I thought it was probably my key so I pulled out my wife's and tried it, still no good.

Intermittent what .... ? If it's the door opening function
on both keys, then it's not the keys

I've read about how to manually replace the batteries on disco.co.uk. You still might have to have the dealer repair them. The batteries are rechargable when plugged into the ignition, however the batteries go back. It can be re-engineered.

Chap on the RRSPORT forum here is having the exact same problem as you, there's a link in this thread to the 'fix' on Disco3

Thanks Mike, I reckon that is my problem and will get to it this weekend.

Is this sorted now ?

Still on going. Rear doors were not locking as well so I removed both rear door latches and adjusted the locking levers.

I went looking for the connections discussed in the Disco3 posts but could not find them (after stripping out front and rear seats and rear seat carpet).

The remote locking has reappeared intermittently so I suspect it is an issue with a bad connection. Especially since it started working again last night when I was measuring voltages on the cables to the remote antenna.
I plan on removing the hood lining in 2 weeks when I return from Boston and tracing the positive and signal wiring from the antenna unit back.
