Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / July 2009Spare key fob
I need a spare 2 button key fob for my Defender. Where is the best place, please, to get a new one and can I program it myself?

I'd speak to a local independent who can probably supply the keyfob and will have the testbook system to set everything up. The £35 + vat charge would be reasonable for supply and setup of the keyfob imo.

Mine seems to consist of lots of turning the ignition key and opening the drivers door in accordance with the security code of the vehicle - which is fine if the switch still works. (1998 Defender V8i) Signaturehugh It may be more complicated but is it better? Hugh Have a look at this document, it's very useful. http://www.reedx.net/landrover/maint/alarm/LandRover_alarm.pdf Colin www.REEDX.net/landrover In message <fa57a471-1900-4feb-94b2-86c402a85122@d32g2000yqh.googlegroups.com>, Colin Reed <reedxuk@gmail.com> writes >Hugh > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Colin >www.REEDX.net/landrover It is indeed very useful but not wholly accurate in that on my Defender entering the emergency access code involves turning the ignition key to the II position, not using the door key, and opening the drivers door to indicate the end of input of each digit. However going back to the OP, on closer checking, my handbook refers to the resynchronisation of existing fobs, not the programming of new ones. Signaturehugh It may be more complicated but is it better? > Hugh > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Colinwww.REEDX.net/landrover Thanks for your input Hugh and Colin. My local Land Rover dealer quoted £60 for a new fob and £40 to program it!

My local Land Rover dealer >quoted £60 for a new fob and £40 to program it! Quite a difference - find yourself a local independent. Mine supplies genuine LR parts at about half the price. Signaturehugh It may be more complicated but is it better? >I need a spare 2 button key fob for my Defender. Where is the best > place, please, to get a new one and can I program it myself? Land Rover got me the spare from Germany then synched it with existing one ........ total for the two operations was (as near as dam it) £100 inc Vat. Thank fully I have now got rid of my LR and so I have emerged from the LR time warp, poor build quality and poor reliability. I admire all that choose to 'stick with them' Richard >> I need a spare 2 button key fob for my Defender. Where is the best >> place, please, to get a new one and can I program it myself? [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Richard So why post here you thick dog rimmer? For the record, the RR i have now, apart from one knocking noise that turned out to be a diff, it is very reliable, the only other problem is PDC, hardly the end of the world.
