My key arrived too.
Not had a chance to get it cut yet or programmed yet though.
Quality looks excellent, but no Land Rover Logo on the fob I have an empty case with the Logo i can swap the guts into.

Replacement Keys
I dropped into the local supermarket where they have a key cutting service. The jobs worth wouldn't cut it, said it would the ECU.
So today I dropped into another branch, couldn't believe it, he cut it as a freebie..... Result.

Any one tried this fella? Seems a good price and he's got good feedback.

I need to make a few things clear from my post. It will need programming to your vehicle, I am fortunate enough to own an IID tool. The total cost of key, ordering a cut blade from keys in the post (see Sean north's post) was £33.99. The fob has a Panasonic battery in it, I don't know if it's rechargeable but I can't seem to move it, but I am not experienced in electronics. I hope this helps anyone looking at these.
Has anyone got a source/link for the rechargeable cell shown in the right hand image ? (LR original PCB)
Am pondering if the China board has the circutry to charge these - perhaps the single use/disposable cell on the left is simply to keep costs down ? - it'll likely last a good few years

3 weeks since I ordered one of those fobs + electronics from China - 3 days ago I ordered a cut blank from keys in the post - both arrived today - the new blank fits the lock perfectly, sadly when fitted to the new fob it doesn't fully close.
New plan is to get another cut blank, complete with fob from keys in the post (didn't know they did the fobs) and fit the China electronics
