Hi All

Ok so here is the problem. my disco only came with one key and the fob part of the key is a bit fcuk'd so i want to get another. Now before we launch into the chip issue, me being me did the cheapy thing n went to my local key cutter who did a cheap copy...... i plucked up the courage the other day and tried it. It got me in the car and the vcar started.... Should this happen?

The disco is a 2001 V8 auto GCC spec.. maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway i still want to get a new key with built in fob (2 button type) Valen TX3 apparently. but i don't want to pay the 100's of squid land rover want for the new key and the re programming. Any cheap ways of getting rounnd this?:5bparty:
 
I had my disco fob refurbished, (all joints resoldered etc) cost £40
Dont remember where though, somewhere online
I sent it to them special delivery, and had it back "special delivery" within 36 hours!..........guess its a google search if your interested

was the new key anywhere near the old key when yer landy started?

Had you recently blipped the landy with the fob to unlock it?

Either of these rcould have dissarmed the immobiliser.
 
Is the imobiliser in the fob? Yeah i had the original key in my pocket, however when they guys tested the original key in the machine at Mr Mint it said there was no chip!!! crazy
