I get keys cut all the time for Discos at Lowes. They do not have a chip in them, but they need to be cut correctly. As far as the fob, if you are sure the batteries are good, then it sounds like a dealer issue.
Well that's interesting. I just got back from Lowe's, and the key guy told me he can't cut my Disco key. I suppose I'll try another Lowe's. I thought that sounded plain wrong.
Lowe's does not carry a proper blank for Land Rovers (ask me how I know). There is however a blank that is intended for Hyundai or some other import that will almost work perfectly, it just requires some slight modification with a file or a bench grinder after it's cut.
