Hi, I have trhis issue with my keys to. I do not have the LR Warranty on my car anymore as my car is over 3yrs old but would I still be able to get my dealer to sort this out using the info above. I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

That's interest, because the cover of one of my keys is coming away. I'll mention it to the dealer when I go to see them!
