The old spare key had the end broken off, so I got a new one cut from my good key (from the blank ordered in by Timpsons as they didn't have any Landy type in stock) and put the existing chip in the compartment in the new key, tried it and it worked fine. Now got two keys. I already had two...

Got my spare key done this week. Went to Timpsons who ordered one in and cut it for £12.00. Put the chip in and all good. Not bad considering it's over £100 (and I know its because you get a new chip) at dealers or spares specialist.

Well, not bad for a first post, 8 pages of reply's, and some nice thrupenny bits!

Is it necessary for Defender, Disco and Range Rover owners feel it ok to slag off the Freelander in this section? So what if the Freelander is not a purists 4x4. So what if has faults. So what if you are not hard as nails if you own a Freelander. What's your problem?
