Hi there!
Regrettably my son lets the key in its pants and put it in the washing machine (at least he his doing its homeworks) I rescue it, open it and dry it but regrettably doensnt work anymore 
Still I have the second pair and I'm not in a hurry... Any cheaper alternative that ask to the dealer? Remember that I'm a little bit far away from UK

I’ve used this website before. The new keys certainly work and they let you know the EKA code. You get a part refund when you post back the programmer (in the pre-paid envelope)
https://remotekey.co.uk/land-rover/ Would recommend them. |

Combined key and fob looks good.

I have reprogrammed a new key fob myself, however, there is a procedure to it and you need the correct equipment.
It's not something I will discuss publiclally for obvious reasons. Repacing them is not very expensive at all, nor programming. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Put the key fob in a bowl and completely cover in dry uncooked rice for 24 hours works wonders believe me For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Or buy some Silicagel Crystal Cat Litter, absorbs moisture better than rice.

Learning from my wife's experience, Kindles can survive a trip around the washing maching, Blackberry phoes can't.
