The remote in my key is dead. Is there an aftermarket remote that can be used?
My key has the usual problems, the two buttons fell out and the contact bits on the circuit board in the remote portion are missing, so when I bought new keys,...and put the remote into one,.......it doesnt work. It only works if I bridge the two contact points on the circuit board with something like a tiny screwdriver.......apparently the circuit board originally had a small contact strip that the key buttons pushed on to bridge the contact points.
Can anyone reccomend an aftermarket remote at a reasonable price? I've been using my key in the door for several months and am concerned that I might break that pot metal link between the lock cylinder and the door lock actuator switch (I have a steel replacement link, but haven't had time to replace it ).

You can attempt to repair your current remote, there are kits like this that have replacement switches: Land Rover Discovery Genuine OEM Factory Key Keyless Remote CWE100710KIT
Might be cheaper on ebay.
