Where to buy spare key?

[dublin_101]

I only have one key - and I need a spare one.

What is the best cost effective way to get a spare one? Thanks in advance.


PS - I did search this forum but only found info on repairing damaged key cases.

Direct from Land Rover. $250(ish) when I checked about 6 months ago. They need to be ordered from the UK.

For the D3:

Amalgamated Locksmiths in Brisbane sell non-genuine key fobs with transponder for $220. You then need to cut and program. This is what I did.

MR Automotive can order in genuine from UK but quoted me $365, already cut but you still need to get programmed.

The IIDTool can be used to program keys.

Many locksmiths can also get in and program for you as well. Most have a universal key fob programmer that covers most car makes. Charges to cut and program can be up to $120 plus cost of key fob.

When you get a quote from LR, or find an alternative do post what you find out.

Cheers.

Unfortunately it is hard to get out of this for under about $400 - $500 bucks by the time you get the fob and have it cut and programmed.

Thx guys. If Land Rover does it for $250 I'll do a somersault out of happiness.

I'll let you know how i go once i start making phone calls tomorrow.

What if my expensive key/s got stolen or lost?
Would my insurer help out?
Just wondering.

Probably, except that most people have an excess of around $500 which probably means you are on your own.

Sorry! Probably $350 . I know it was a similar price to getting one direct from the UK as I emailed a dealer over there.

I received a quote from Duckworths in the UK - looks like around 150 quid ($330) for the key.

I'll look at getting that and then try to find a programmer. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

So what was the quoted price direct from a service agent? Obviously not cheap.
