Hello i apologise if this has been asked before, but I heard there is someone on here that repairs the key fobs? I'm getting close to just putting a brick through my own window! Lol

Re: Key repair needed!

Could you describe the actual problem, do you have 2 fobs and neither will unlock the car ?

Thankyou for the quick responses. I have two keys however one has been sat in a drawer for years (I've not long owned the vehicle) and the 2nd key took quite a nasty fall, and has started working intermittently.

It might be a good idea to update your profile as well, so we know what year/model you are talking about. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

Agree.

Depending which year you have there are totally different systems. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I have used these people when I left the key in my jeans pocket and my OH accidentally washed and tumble dried my Freelander 2 (2014) 5 button smart key, they supplied and coded the key to the car, £140 (that was a few years ago) including coding to the car which I thought was a good deal compared to LR price. The key is exactly the same just no LR logo. He does do a supply only price but you would need to take it to be coded.

Thanks for the suggestions. However the service in which RRUK provides is a key refurbishment for £49.99. Im trying to avoid paying £280 for two new keys when I can potentially get both refurbished for £100, from what I have read he is highly recommended.

I believe he just transfers your internals to a new fob. So you need a coded key to start with.

I had a local auto lock smith create a new one for mine, it was £120 inc VAT. He would have done another one for an additional £60.

Alternatievely, buy the OBD reader discussed on the forums and a blank key to program yourself. Easy if you've got the blade from your old key,.

If you just need a cover for the guts LR078922 I got one as the rubber was delaminating on one on my keys. I can't remember the price, but it was cheap enough. Should have got a spare at the time. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
