Thread: Spare Key Required

I lost my spare key. After contacting numerous locksmiths in Melbourne I was informed that they cannot provide a spare key. The local LR dealer was only too happy to provide a spare key. I provided my vehicle details and credit card details and some almost three months later my new key arrived from the UK. When my car was next serviced the key was initialised. No problems.

Thanks MelbD3.
Looks like I will be contacting my LR dealership.

You can get a blank key programed but it must never have been programmed before. Unused ones come up on fleabay ocasionally. Check the UK site for details.

Just had to get 2 new keys for my D3 (have to come from LR in the UK so not sure how long I will have to wait). Ordered from the dealer and they are about $400 each!!! Thankfully they are being paid for by the warranty people.

G'Day Ivan, I didn't think I would get much change out of $500...........

Probably for something that will never get used.

You should also rotate the use of the keys as the battery gets charged when inserted in the ignition. If you don't rotate the keys the second one will go flat until it's inserted in the ignotion again.

Slightly off topic but I had a house break in last year and the swine took the key but didn't get time to take the car. Had to replace the steering column lock and the drivers door lock along with two new keys just to make sure he couldnt come back and nick the car by opening the car manually.
Got them through Nick at Yeovil LR who was very helpful and saved heaps compared to getting them through the local dealership.
Local guys were more than helpful to do the install though which was done well.

I'm sure many will find this US Landrover Parts supplier the way to go for Genuine parts.
