Replacement Keys
key service, and prices
Subscribed members The options are 1. Supply key complete with new transponder, blank key & new casing, refurbished remote PCB coded to unlock, lock and start the car £70 2. Supply key as above but without remote facility, but starts the car £60, of course this is an option if you have successfully used TOAF to introduce a used remote to your car 3. Send your EWS immobiliser to one of the members offering this service, they will program a new transponder to work with your EWS unit, then post it back to you, and you can supply your own key blank, and fit the transponder to the casing. £45 Registered users Add on £10 to the above price list, so to qualify for the discounted members prices, simply pay your subs, and enjoy the other benefits membership brings . For options 1 & 2, you will have to bring the car to the person offering this service, the operation takes roughly 1 Hour, also while T4 is hooked up, any dealer options you may wish to have enabled or disabled can be carried out free of charge. If you have bought a second hand key, it may also be able to utilise the remote locking PCB, so you would pay for option 2, but receive the option 1 service. keys are supplied blank, however most reputable locksmiths can carry this out for you, budget between £5 and £10 for this. I would like to point out that these keys, which ever option you decide to choose, are NOT CLONES, and won't "fall out of sync" with your cars immobiliser they will behave in exactly the same manner as if you had paid over £180 from the dealer, with the exception that you have to get the keyblade cut. For other regions such as Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Lancashire, I suggest you contact BigRuss. For the Home Counties, and South East contact Phil-T4 For Portsmouth and the South Coastal regions cb750chris is your man. Now all of these people are sterling chaps, and I'm sure be more than happy to assist. Brian Last edited by marinabrian; 5th November 2018 at 18:55.. Reason: . |

Hi Brian
Thank you for posting this, great service as usual maybe this should also be in the contributions section. It would also be good if members whom use this service post here so it would be bounced back to the top as I have done now

In trouble with key fob change!
As the acknowledged expert can you advise me please. I tried to change the key fob on my 75, having renewed one easily in a Discovery previously. I swapped over the circuit board and the car locks and unlocks fine but couldn't extract the chip or key blade. I may have damaged the chip in my efforts to get it out.
In the short term I tried attaching the new fob to my key ring along with the old. But unsurprisingly the car would not start with this arrangement so I am using my spare key, also with a slightly damaged fob! I have a spare fob complete, that came from a scrapped car, if that helps! So should I persist in trying to swap the chip and blade over or would the chip from my spare fob work? Is it easily damaged and is it coded to the car in some way? Assuming I can get it out of course! Grateful for any advice. Thanks, Tim. |

Thanks....but
That's a pity. Are they easily damaged? I'm hoping if I can fit the key to the half new half old fob it might all work. Good thing I had a spare key, though now I don't!

The last time I did this through the not so local dealer I was charged £95 for the key with its blade cut to suit. The programming of the key to the car and the programming of the car to the key was charged out at Half an hours labour. This brought the total cost up to just a shade over £200 after the VAT man got his cut.
We had problems goodness it was three and a half years ago it Pauline’s Saloon we managed to buy a key from a ebay dealer it was £37.50. It came with both bar codes which I am told is a must unless you just want a clone key. I had a number in my phone described as car key locksmith I called the number and he came out to the house and for £50 cash programmed the keys including moving the drivers seat to the correct drivers position for each of us on the key. A fantastic deal. But he stressed that you must have the bar codes. A very very very nice man. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
