How To Fit New Body / Shell to Land Rover Keyfob Remote Using Genuine Parts to fix repair

[@johnr2412]

Everything I have done to 2 of my freelander 2's I have learnt from you guys... Keep up the good work guys 👌👏👏

[@ManojChugh]

Extremeley useful Simon. Honestly, this was a life saver for me.

[@sjames8817]

Really helpful video, thank you very much - followed stage by stage to change my old for new F2 fob. Would have really struggled without your clear instructions!

[@auroraaustralis6086]

Tks a million! Without your video I should spend a lot of time trying to figure out everything! Great job guys! 🙏🏻

[@davejblair]

Job done. Many thanks. The plastic pins/pylons are the biggest issue. The circuit board came off one no problem but the one beside the antenna was a a bit stubborn. I snipped the top off it with side cutters and the board just lifted off at that point.

[@L663]

Glad it helped !

[@henrylee6649]

Thanks great advice ,I used nail clippers to remove the plastic nib

[@philr1448]

What a simple but great idea! 🙂

[@OoOJakeOoO]

Fantastic shout. Worked wonders that did haha

[@reazbeg]

Thank you so much for this video, it helped me change my FOB casing with ease. The video was super clear, short and very well made showing each step clearly. thank you. off course needless to say I have liked and subscribed to your channel.

[@ChristopherPerezAHCG]

The fob replacement I bought on AMZ didn’t come with the thin silicone gasket from the original so I moved it over after realizing I had forgotten it when I snapped the new one back together. Also the “Land Rover” part of the original shell was in good shape so I re-used it. The new fob’s back was plain matte with no branding. Always enjoy your videos!

[@mf303]

I don’t think you need the superglue or the soldering iron to secure the PCB in the new case - my new case had a pad of foam in the back that secured the PCB on the pins when the case was assembled. I changed my case about 8 months ago with no issues (although with Covid, it hasn’t been used as much as normal ☹️). Thanks for doing this video.

[@mancavemoto]

Cheers Guys, just the ticket! one part of my original key fob had snapped, so this was a very useful video

[@L663]

Glad it helped!

[@c.b.1500]

Very useful, I followed your instructions step by step (didn’t use glue though) and it worked out perfectly fine. Thank you!

Really helpful....Thank you from sydney Australia...!!

[@chrismock46]

Your instructional videos are blok#y fantastic born in the real world with no bullshit thanks again

[@earlgrey5142]

Really useful video Simon. The hard bit is definitely getting the circuit board off the black pins. I managed to grab the ends with needle nose pliers and twist them off...

[@L663]

Glad to hear you got the job done !

[@dukemasterpro]

Same, I was hesitant to remove the pins, but they are very soft and easy to pull through what's left before placing the board with holes exposed now on the new fob. Works a treat! To think the LR main dealer was going to charge over $1,000 for a new main battery and key replacement. Probs an hour's labor for the key alone ( $280 ). $41 for the fob from LR parts, 5 mins of time - job done!

[@phillipgathungu]

You are a National Treasure!

[@manorbleak1]

I don't understand why you have to glue/hot melt it in. Surely once the other half is in place it can't move?

[@L663]

Fair point - i guess as the original one had the board "staked" i thought i would follow the same route...but you are correct ...not really needed.

[@manorbleak1]

[@zxyqwerty123]

I had a shot every time you said “right”, I think I’ve damaged my liver 🤣

[@L663]

yes sometimes i edit out the "rights" and the "errrm's"

[@willraee]

I bought a 2011 Range Rover HSE and have had it for years, but my battery died, and I can't seem to find where to buy the key "blade" part of the key fob to even get into my vehicle. I have the key fob itself; I'm just missing the manual blade. Land Rover says they are on backorder. I ordered one three months ago, and they still haven't processed the order for the key blade. Would you happen to have any suggestions?

[@2philly7venz]

I have a 2010 L322, which has none of these particular key fobs. Is there another video for those? Thanks again.

[@OXODealer]

Thank you very helpful advice

[@HQBProductions]

Good work...do you do new metal slide bits though? An “Autobiography” one would be good or one marked “PowerfulUK” might be better!! 😎😎😎😎...there you are, another job in satin finished alloy lookalike stuff!! 😃😃😃Richard

[@MikeyBee1966]

Thank you, worked a treat. 👍🏻🍏

[@ravenbonanza1522]

After several attempts, I was able to free-up the circuit board from the case. I would not be able to do it without you guys. Thanks 😀

[@L663]

Great job!

[@alfie_b99]

If you use super glue you will Never get that off again without breaking the circuit board or the remote body pins

[@L663]

Good point..

Yes, it did seem to me Simon was intent on ensuring it never came apart again. Let's hope it outlives the car! ;-)

What are the Key fob frequencies for the different countries? Looking to get a spare programmed and want to make sure correct frequency. It is for a L494 Australia

I know the UK is 433 and most Aus stuff is the same as UK but you need to check

You're welcome!

[@johnwillett4086]

If you don't want to buy new tools, I think you will find that nail clippers may work nicely to snip the top off the posts.

[@L663]

That sounds like a good plan John

what year is the freelander

[@yottakat1069]

That slidy bit always gives me trouble i switch it around 2 to 3 times before I finally get it lol

[@sightseeingsi8187]

Is this suitable for replacement for freelander 2 facelift models?

Yes this suits Freelander 2 facelift also www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/land-rover/freelander-2/spare-parts/land-rover-freelander-2-keyfob-refurb-kit-shell-battery.html

[@leetarone9114]

where is the link to buy please

[@jampot20000]

Thanks very useful

[@lyletregoning4717]

No need to use glue. Also you maybe pleased to know the big fat key the early discovery 4s had, that was the same as the 2010-11 RRS and the 2009-2012 l322, you can remove the enternals from those and fit them in these new type keys with just a small bit of nail filling the corner of the circuit board.

[@L663]

I give you a shout out in my next video - thanks for the tip !

[@alanottley]

Whew... you had me worried when you were trying to cut the plastic tab when there is an IC right in your path if the blade slipped or cut through...

Come on Alan .. this is me .. i live life on the wild side !

[@jameslindley924]

I have to question the logic behind Key Fobs of that size which Fill your pocket and you feel like a Pit Pony carrying that great big thing around with you all day as opposed to the older Key Operated type which is so much lighter and easier in your pocket !!!- Has Technology moved forwards or Backwards ??????????????

Good point - the Tesla has a credit card.

Do NOT lever a circuit board from underneath with a hard metal screwdriver when you can’t see what components are there!!

You don’t wanna put an iron near superglue. Stinging eyes.

As i was doing it I was thinking "this could be a bad idea" but no one would really do both ! actually looking at the comments i was probably a little keen doing either..
