Key issue

[Devlin]

My key only works the ignition, fob locks and unlocks ok (most of the time) should it fit all locks '96 300 tdi

[jamesmartin]

yes someones changed ignition lock if all the rest are the same

 

[Mr Noisy]

Not necessarily if the car has been broken into and had new steering lock fitted.

See if you can find original key number and get a key made up for the doors. Maybe main dealer. Not sure if the older stuff had key info recorded.

Or change all the locks using a donor vehicle.

OR make sure you never have a flat battery

I only got one key with it, bugger,

obviously you could have replacement door locks off several vehicles ,but often i find one key for doors and one for ignition,you can get complete lock set to put everything back to one key either new or from breakers,but many vehicles have several keys looks like yours did

 

[Mr Noisy]

A complete lock set is a huge price new, but quite often breakers sell lock sets on eBay. I saw one recently for about 70 quid iirc.

Would sort your problems out.

If you can get a new key off land rover for your doors it probably wouldn't be far behind that sort of money anyway.

 

[Devlin]

Cheers I am having a ebay search for some stuff later

I have 3 keys, ignition, front doors and one for the rear door. In the dark it often takes me 15 minutes to get in and start so i give up and dont bother going out.

Why would you want door key if you have central locking, i've never used a key in the door, I doubt if the keys will even go in the locks now as they have never been used, might try it and see.

I'd check your locks discool cos when your fob fails at 2am on a welsh hillside the AA man may get a tad annoyed....

When getting keys cut do you have to have them programed or they to old for that

 

[Maddogtrev]

Hi have a ring around your local auto locksmiths I only had one key for my van that fit the drivers door and ignition I got the passenger door and side and rear door locks re-tumbled and only cost £15.00. You may be able to get a key cut for the doors might be the cheaper option it will only cost a phone call to find out good luck

Come on, a key is a key a bit of metal how can you program that? or do you mean fob - the ting wit pressy bits.
