Defender key fob

[draftsmann]

I know there are a few Land Rover folk here including one or two in the trade. Basically my key fob’s battery has died. On opening it, its shell has all but disintegrated. It’s the two button type as pictured below.

Had it been Mrs Draft’s Evoque with the 5 button key fob there seem to be plenty of places that sell a replacement aftermarket case for the price of a couple of Starbucks coffees. Unfortunately the equivalent for the two button type seem to be like rocking horse doodoo unless I buy a small consignment (minimum order 5) from China.

If anyone can suggest where I’ll find just one even if I have to order it from the Far East that would be excellent!

It’s crazy but Land Rover don’t supply these cases, I’ve looked extensively for an alternative but have failed on more than one occasion. If you should find anywhere please let me know.

Edit: if you should have to buy in some bulk I’d be interested in having the rest off of you.

Thank you- look like they have all been snapped up unfortunately. These are the aftermarket shells that the nice folk in China only sell in multiples.

That appears to be the case unfortunately. I’ve joined that forum now having drawn a complete blank on eBay and Amazon.

Great find Simon- thank you! A replacement shell from China is on its way to me now.

It certainly was! Strange that it didn’t come up on a “worldwide” search on eBay UK- I guess the seller only paid for it to be marketed on the Australian eBay.
