The Range Rover came with 2 keys when I purchased it one was extremely worn & the other had never been used, I have always used the perfect one keeping the other as a spare. I recently saw an advertisement on the Land Rover forum so sent the tatty one off , it arrived back this morning looking like new only £25.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

I'm always wary of sending a key off for repair and providing the address where you live / car is parked to them.

Fortunately been able to refurbish my own in the past, which reminds me, need to re-case the spare BMW key.

Bargain  :y

I thought so , I think a new one is a couple of hundred quid so I'm happy with the repair all done in 48 hours.

If it disappears off the drive in the next few days you'll know if it was a bad idea or not.  ;D

Never a truer word said in jest.

If its the usual JLR 5 button one - though not sure your yours is a bit early for that type, an new shell is £10 from the dealer, and another £10 for the chrome bit.  And about 2 mins to swap it all over.

So for £5.00 I've saved myself a lot of faffing about, that's excellent

Well, I'd be impressed if you wore out the chrome bit.  So 2 mins of simple faffage to save £15....

But as said, your key might not be that style, and never looked at prices for other types.

I picked up a new, non genuine, passive entry keyless start fob + blade for mine for £25, but did need to be programmed in.

I didn't wear any of it out , I've never used it because it was in a very shabby condition when I got the vehicle, all my post was about was that I was pleased about the service I received, for a very reasonable cost.
