Scotland 2014 Range Rover Vogue SDV6 Santorini Black

Without, reading through this entire thread... and being quite happy with the original 2012MY key fob size (pictured right below)

Why do the black plastic/ rubber cover thingies become detached?

And what do you to replace them/ ours are flapping around (look undamaged and like they will press and clip down... but they don't!!!

Thanks Thumbs Up .

United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Bournville

I think they all go like that sooner or later. Both mine certainly did. I managed to get them to an acceptable standard by very careful and sparing use of cyanoacrylate-based superglue. Only glued my fingers about half a dozen times Laughing You have to be very careful not to glue the bits that you want to be able to move, for example, to change the battery.

You can buy replacement shells but, in time, they will probably go the same way. I believe the genuine part number is LR052905. Several available on eBay or Dan at Duckworths will no doubt give as good a price as anyone.

Personally, I would go for the later version and get the smaller key, but that's obviously down to personal preference. Current: 2010 Range Rover L322

Recently did both of mine with refurb kits from Dan , just have to be brave for prising them apart. The new cases are textured plastic so shouldn't be as crappy as the originals Thumbs Up

an update on my key conversion....i've gone back to my spare key which is the normal chunky type..

the 'new' slim/smaller key just didnt feel right and i had problems pressing the unlock button, probably because of my thick fingers ...
the converted key made me feel like an ecoque driver so i'm back to the proper FF key and its nice to have something chunky in my pocket again.. Mr. Green

i still think it was an 'easy to do' worthwhile project and i'll keep the converted fob as my spare.. ... - .- -.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

Piggin el.... was reading this with interest, but I do prefer the 2010 fob...

I got a new one from the dealer a year ago...and it's been looked after, but it's delaminating again....

So new ones still have the same issue....... I got charged about £30 odd for the dealer to do it all....




Do we have a better solution yet? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

as stan said the covers are cheap for LR genuine and they take about 10 mins to swap over. Its really easy I've done mine a few times as my disco key gets battered on site every day, being thrown from pillar to post so tools can be retrieved.

If there isn't one already i can do a strip down step by step if folks want. as its due a new case soon. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

Thanks gents. Will prob replace with the same then. I think my spare, that now doesn't seem to be coded to the car, - but that's another issue - is in better condition so I might swap the innards with that.

Land Rover chap said it's a bit tricky as springs and stuff, but looks like he is telling fibs....

Plus my spare has the emergency key blade, my current one doesn't....

Seems to be in reverse order for some reason, but follow the pics, few bits to take of the old case such as springs and seals etc but its easy peasy.

Well I read this thread with interest and it slowly dawned on me that I had never pressed one of the buttons (lights) so tonight I pressed it - I know reckless is my middle name - and the follow me home lights came on.

You learn something new every day Very Happy Geoff
