don't think you can remove the chip off the board , the chip on the board still uses small amount of power from fob battery
99% sure on this it's not like a normal chip you find clipped inside some keys |

Yes that's the one thank you, that`s the one that got me thinking.
But it still means I`ve got two remotes which is what I want to get away from. I have a dislike toward large bunches of keys, I would be happier with one for everything to be honest. I would like to enclose the chip within the plastic section of the ignition key itself, if you know what I mean From what munch says the chip may require a power supply of sorts from the plip battery, unlike most transponder chips that are energised / activated via the small current induced via the coil around the ignition barrel. The rover / lucas seems different, I only have experience of bosch baised systems these can be worked / used with just placing the chip close to the pick up coil, they don`t need to be in the key. I`am taking the car back to the dealers next week for work warranty to the clutch so hope to speak to a technician and gain a bit of inside knowledge Failing that the spare fob may get modified. AA on speed dial !! Excuse the spelling I`am better with spanners and wires. |

have the extra alarm removed as I think there is a extra bit that can be fitted to standard alarm to improve it and using the one standard fob
or remove extra one and have extra immobiser fitted that just has a transponder hanging on the keys not a buttoned fob |

Thanks guys, will look into options you have mentioned.
However on looking at some mg rover web sites it seems I should have a eka / immobiliser code with the car, well I don`t have it, just radio code and mechanical key number. looks like I better sort that one with the supplying dealer tomorrow morning or get it when it goes in. Thanks again. Excuse the spelling I`am better with spanners and wires. |

if you can get the code direct from the vehicle by having it plugged in , as the dealers don't always have the correct code in the paperwork
and try it when you get it ! |

This forum is great for these sort of questions
The thread is nearly ten years old but I was thinking the same thing, it's really clunky carrying around a seperate fob if you have the older type defender. I wasn't brave enough to cut up my existing fob and I didn't know about the company called remotekey.co.uk Took a look at their website and have just ordered a combined key and fob. If you're not sure what you need, phone the mobile number and speak to them. I didn't get the name of the owner but he is into Land Rovers and I was on the phone for ages talking about all sorts of Landy stuff |

There are also low-priced DIY-options for folding keys to plugin your circuit board and a duplicate keyblade.

I have done a lot of research.
Usually the flip-key supplied is an NE75, but LF10 is required. LF10 is available to buy as blanks, but you still have to do some machining to make it fit. My approach is to buy the housing with NE75, integrate the contents of the FOB and adapt my original key so that I can replace it with the NE75. However, the housing will probably have to be glued in place. That's unsightly but actually no problem -- until the next battery change 
Maybe I can think of something elegant. I'll keep you up to date |

That's a flip-key case for the Defender i got from an austrian online key housing shop back 2016 for 12 Eur. (I can send you a link in PM if you want to - i am not related and won't place ads here  )
Yes, the pcb does fit in there. I reinforced the housing with two screws as you can see in the pictures. Works perfectly for me for years now.
