When out today with my wife, 2 year old son and my new 5 day old daugther to the shop to do a few thing all was well, then went to start the 2002 discovery to come home and the key would not move. Walked away before I did something I mite regret came back about 30 mins late and still the key would not move.:mad::mad::mad:

Walked home about 25 mins in the nice hot darwin sun got the other car and the tool box. Left the very happy wife and kids at the shop.:mad::mad::mad:

Got back pulled starter system out lucky I new how to do it as this has happened before took about 20 mins but wife could drive the car home starting the car with a screw driver.

Taken the barrel of to a lock smith hope this is not going to cost to much :angrylock:

Luck I my wife loves the landrover as much as I do least I can still smile

Did you try to fix this last time?

A locksmith should only charge about $50-75 to strip the lock down & sort out the wafers if it's off the car already.

My key would not work for me a short time ago.
I had read stories about the barrel failing and was expecting the worst, but as it happens with my job I carry a lot of tools and fixit things with me. So I got out the graffite and gave the barrel a burst.
Worked like a charm and hasn't mis behaved since.
