[For Sale] 3 Button Flip Key Refurb Service

(Ad approved by Martin)

I can offer you the service to refurb your current 3 button flip key fob to a brand new status.(some of you have other cars!)

I've been doing this service via eBay for a while now and recently Martin and I have agreed I will be a "Site Supporter" with revenue from this going back into the forum.

The service involves having to cut open the old key and fit the PCB into a new fob shell. These are a

to open up if you don't have the right tools/patience/experience and the new ones HAVE to be bonded together or they fall apart. Not a job for the faint hearted but I've done lots of these now including my own and my mum's too (we were the guinea pigs).

The most common fault with these is the buttons cave in and could allow water into the PCB.

You get a brand new 3 button flip Key fob
Your original blade is re-used - no need to get one cut
Brand new battery soldered in - OE Panasonic
There is NO need to re-programme anything
It will work as normal but look brand new
Key fob comes with a new split ring too

Your dealer will charge you £200+, as they can only sell you a new key which involves reprogramming, new blade cut etc, they don't have the ability to utilise your old key at all.

You send me a key and I will post back First Class Signed for guaranteed by 1pm

Total cost £49 per key. PM me to get things going.

NB: Key must work, I can't fix PCB errors or re-programme. If the micro switches are broken I cannot fix these.

(I can also renew/upgrade your 5 button key fob as used on Discovery 4s, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover, Evoque - see my other advert.)

Afraid not.

The reason for the ads being on all the forums is that many of us have a second LR in the stable and just might not go to that forum.

It's a shame the PCBs are not more interchangeable

Don't suppose you do this for the Freelander 2 fob?

Dave,

No, not yet anyway. I have never had a FL2 key to work on, or seen inside one.

Do you mean just refurbing the FL2 key fob for a new FL2 key fob? 2016 D4 HSE

Christmas Post

Due to crazy Christmas post, I am now experiencing significant delays in post arriving with me, and being delivered to you.

The Post Office delivers to my house at 7pm

(is this a record? Does anyone else get their post this late?) and the last official date for posting first class before Christmas is December 21st in the UK.

Just an FYI to you all.

Due to Christmas Postal Delays and Strikes I will not be taking orders until New Year 2017. I will not let my reputation suffer due to unreliable postal deliveries. Apologies. 2016 D4 HSE
