    Common Puma issue, BOTH barrell and switch need replacing, as a unit. I did one at 70K last week and it had already been 'repaired' under warranty. They aren't exxy and I got a locksmith to code the old key to it so all is back to normal.

    same same but differentent

    Sorry to go off on a tangent........ I am having an issue where the the key is sticking when turned to ignition and I physically have to turn it back to the I position, really annoying when the force needed to retrieve it from the II position to I turns the motor off and I have to start again. Any easy fixes? gonna have it checked on my next service (2000kms away). But as it is intermittent I am sure it will not happen when the stealers are looking. I am rolling a MY10 90.:

    Just get them to fit a new barrel and switch NOW before it becomes unusable. Obviously they'll have to check it and all that Bla for warranty etc and IIRC there was some sort of service action for this problem, so tell them you don't want it to become a flat tray job in the next month or so when the starter stays engaged....

    Agree with JC.

    What you described is exactly what happened to me in the previous 3 days before car towed to dealer and new barrel replaced etc.

    Have now heard not uncommon.

    Just some praise for Land Rover Australia here.

    While the car was in dealership , they didn't have a loan car so kids by taxi to school etc. LR organized a rental car and I had great service from them.

    The dealership is brand new and are not really set up yet- the guys on the help line called regularly with timelines etc.

    You don't expect a car with 5500k to be in the shop, but felt like it was induction into becoming a true defender owner.

    When I picked up the car this arvo I was almost as excited as when I first picker her up. And I can tell you; a commodore feels a lot warmer than a defender when parked in the sun. After driving a defender for 2 months driving a car with a 45 deg angled windscreen is weird and I love my defender!!
