Hi All, just joined the forum and had a little nose around before I bought my SC. It's a 2005 with 41,500 miles on the clock. An ex Stratestone demonstrater and then one female owner living it's life in Chelsea and Fulham.

Amazing car, what it doesn't have isn't worth worrying about.

I do have a question about key fobs where would be the best section to ask for advice?

Welcome

Ask away and a Mod will move it to the right section if they think it's necessary - general or technical good place to start  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Thank you, my keys don't want to work some of the time. I think one has completely given up the ghost and the other one lets me lock and unlock with no problems for a day or so then suddenly decides not to either unlock or lock the car

To be honest both keys have seen better days and I want to replace both. However, after calling Harwoods in Crawley they quoted me £164.94 per key and then £66.00 to code both. A grand total of £395.80

Is there a way of getting this cheaper? I know these cars are expensive to own and run but nearly £400 for two keys seems a bit steep. HELP!

Have you tried changing he batteries in the fob,, I seem to have to do this on a yearly basis with mine. At least they should work without issue even if they look a bit tatty 2010 RRS, TDV8

Many years ago,,,,, 1955 series 1 landie , sometimes wish I had kept it

Thank you Gogsy, I've had a look on youtube and came across a forum about splitting the key to replace the battery and solder it in place to the PCB. Not my thing if I'm honest, I know I will completely cock it up and end up injuring myself and the key will look like and probably still not work.

I would like to replace both keys with new but wondered if there is a cheaper way of acheiving this without paying the dealer prices.

Hi V8, welcome to the site.

Try giving Dan a call at http://www.duckworthparts.co.uk/ They are our site sponsor, he might be able to do you a better deal. Let him know you are off the RRS forum.

Thanks Ady for the tip. I've just spoken to Dan@Duckworths and ordered two new keys from them. A decent saving in price compared to my local dealer and he is a nice guy as well. Always happy to support site sponsors.

Once again thanks for the steer

Now about the bluetooth connection for my iphone 5. Why won't it automatically pair with the RRS like it used too in my M3?

Sorry, i can't help you with the phone connection.

Maybe Bodsy, another site sponsor might be able to help you out though.

have you typed the code inti your phone 2121 i think

Hi Daxmatt, yes I can pair if I type 2121 into the phone no problem. The pain in the is when I leave the car with the phone then get back, in I have to re input 2121 to make the phone pair up with the car again. I never had to do this with the M3 the phone automatically paired with the car. I just wondered if there was a simple fix for this, you push a few buttons in the car and hey presto the problem is solved, that sort of thing.

No simple fix I'm afraid - you need an updated Bluetooth module - try a search on the top banner function using 'Bodsy' as the subject - he is the man - they can be sent through the post or he can fit when he is on his travels

I PM'd him and it all sounds good Peachy. I have no idea where the Bluetooth module is but interested in the fact he travels around. I'll have to ask if he ever gets down South so he can do the fix for me

Try a few searches
