Hi brian. Spare key wont open car or start it. It does look the same as the other one , but im wondering if there is a slight difference ?

[markypicks]

according to the rover manual when a new battery is fitted you supposed to press either button 4 times quickly to re host the key to the car , or it may be the keys chip thats not picking up the ews immobiliser thats located down in the pillar drivers side ..or is there any chip in the key ?rgds mark

Does the key physically turn the lock? if it does, there is a possibility that

1 It's been lost at some point and disabled.

2 it's just a shell with no transponder and either a non functional remote, or a mismatched remote.

PM me a contact number, and we can see if this can be sorted out for you
