Both within the last six weeks or so so they haven't stood the test of time yet but some of the stories I've read about the buttons on the pcb needing to be packed out with 6 layers of electrical tape didn't happen, they both work exactly as the OEM one did.

I suppose if you wanted you could just use the new rubbers in the original fob and keep the Rover logo, and keep the case as a spare. Internally it looked exactly the same as the original, the pcb and transponder both fitted exactly as they should do.

The ad says they are also used on the Mini so I suppose you could also buy an OEM one from a Mini main dealer, albeit with a Mini logo.

I bought these, they were fine.

I bought one of these on Vince's recommendation and can confirm that the interior is high quality which is more than can be said for some of them.
The clips held the PCB perfectly and the push buttons on the case flex nicely. I've never had an aftermarket back cover with the ramps and shoulders to hold the transponder firmly in place and this one was no exception. I hope that the Blu Tack I used will be long lasting!
