Key doesn’t turn to unlock position on Disco 2 to so can’t enter EKA CODE

Hi guys I don’t have any keys and got a key made by locksmith by barrel code and it turning in ignition and lights up everything but in a door barrel it turns to locking position it lock the door but to turn right to unlocking position it’s feel solid and doesn’t turn. I took door card off and rod that is connected to actuator is in place just as everything else. Can motor be so solidly jammed in a actuator that is preventing key to turn to unlock position? When key in ignition central locking from a dash lock and unlock all the doors so is it problem in actuator or something else, maybe barrel needs to be replaced? I need that sorted so I can try to start the car with EKA CODE so I can program new keys and fobs. Car didn’t run for almost 2 years. Please if someone can gave some advice. It’s 2000 td5 Thanks Nick

Maybe the key was made to work in a worn ignition barrel and not a broadly unused doorlock?
Why don't you have an original key?
Why did you need to have one made from a barrel and not an existing key?
Is it a stolen/recovered vehicle?

Car is not stolen or recovered, it was donated to a charity and parked in industrial car park where charity I’m volunteer with have its warehouse. Unfortunately warehouse man who had a keys where car was parked died last year and his family took all the stuff including this Land Rover keys and can’t find them any more. V5C is in my name and I got all information from Land Rover regarding EKA CODE and ignition barrel code. So got one key made by Albans locksmith just to make sure it’s right key biting but unfortunately lock in a door is not responsive to unlocking so can’t enter EKA CODE to try to start the car. I’m just trying to put it back on a road after sitting for two years and save it from being scrapped. I have 1985 LR90 so took that as challenge to work on another LR.

I guess you need to find a friendly person with a Nanocom for the D2 to enter the EKA for you then, or to disable EKA etc.
My Nanocom is only licensed for the P38 RangeRover Motronic, so that's me out. Sorry.

Thanks anyway Dan, guy who changed clutch on my LR90 my have it so I’ll ask him if he can help me. But I would really like to found out why key doesn’t turn to unlocking position. Maybe if I manage to get a programmed keys with fobs with Nanocom than I don’t even need a key entry although it’s good to have that possibility in emergency.

All sorted and key turned in a door to unlocking position. Lock was jammed and took about 10-15 minutes to wiggle and gently press to opening side with bit of a help of penetration oil so at the end it let loose. I managed to start the car with EKA code and on my surprise it started within a 2 second when key turned although it didn't start for 2 years.
