Hi all,
I'm trying to cut a spare set of keys for my '95 tdi300 Deefer and can't seem to find a generic blank. The only blank I've been able to find thus far is a LR blank that's $80... Although, the keys that came with the car are both Silca blanks - LF 10 (ingnition) and UNI 8 (locks). Just wondering if anyone's been able to find a generic blank for a Deefer.
Cheers, Will

Hello Will,
Your message reminded me that I only have one key for my 1993 Defender 110. So, I went online and checked the first port of call to get an estimate to work off. Holy Crap .... Land Rover Defender 90/Defender 110 Uncut Key Blank CWE500390 Genuine New AU $246.60 from the USA + $36.00 postage.
If I find another cheaper source I will let you know. If you find a cheaper source could you please let me know.
Kind regards
Lionel
I got mine from a locksmith in Perth a few years ago .
Try a good locksmith in your area .
Try LR Automotive in Brisbane. I got a blank for a Discovery 2.
Went to my local kiosk cutter in the shopping centre to get a spare for my Disco. Without me letting on the brand, the guy took one look at my key and said he couldn't cut a spare. I asked why not and he said its a Land Rover key. I asked how do you know that, and he responded he used to own a LR. He said I would have to source a blank from a LR supplier. Local LR didn't have any, neither did a local independent.
See pic below...
LEFT: genuine CWE500390 (expensive)
CENTRE: order CWE500390 as anything besides genuine (that one is a britpart)
RIGHT: Amalgamated Locksmiths (search for them on ebay) $14 odd dollars ea. I use these for all Defenders as its a big fat key for Defender owners.

That sort of nonsense drives me nuts. I had the same experience with a locksmith who "specialized" in cars. Wouldn't cut a D2 key because it was a "Range Rover" key and would need programming. What rubbish. It's just a key FFS!. My D1 key fits my D2, and v v ( not to turn, the cut is different ). They are Valeo, but Silca do blanks.
Deefer keys are probably simpler.

Locks are a bit of a hobby. Perhaps I should see if I can get all three cars keyed alike.
