Thats good to know for the people who live in Zimbabwe and use eBay, but getting items shipped from the UK.

Sadly I can tell you first hand genuine lockset aint cheap.
But as the D3 is now a banger they may have come down in price? so would suggets try his dealer first.
Thank you so much for your response. EBay has lots of them but for Diesel Disco3. Been on the site for a while now... but will continue to lookout on it. I appreciate the lead!
I would hazard a guess the lockset is the same regardless of engine?
After all it is just the ignition barrel and door lock.

The engine type won't make any difference to the lock set you need. Don't forget that the key will need programming to the ECU, unless you swap the key blade over.

They come with two blades.
Hi Lynall, Thank you so much for your responses! Do you have any Dealers' contacts I can try out for the Lockset. The first option is a second hand one from anyone breaking for parts... A brand new one would be painfully some option to consider!
Oh really? I was made to understand that the diesel lockset won't work on the petrol car? Now, this is an interesting revelation. I was leaving all the diesel options.....The engine type won't make any difference to the lock set you need.

That's quite interesting to learn, thank you so much for that information!

And you were told this by who?
I seriously doubt that information is correct. It'd be very unlikely and pointless for LR to install different locks for each engine type fitted, simply because the lock is part of the body, and has nothing to do with the engine, other than to communicate the correct immobiliser code to the engine control module. This is where the programming comes in, but if the original key blade is used, no programming would be necessary.
Thank you for enlighting me on this issue. The local mechanics have made me believe that that was impossible! So now that changes everything because diesel options are plenty. I guess it's the coding part where this change would be a challenge hence they say it's not compatible!

What is wrong with the locks? Is it a mechanical failure within the lock itself, maybe due to dirt, dust or sand getting in?
If it's a mechanical failure in the lock, then all you need is the second hand locks and keys. Then simply push the small roll pin out of the key body hinge section, as that's where the immobiliser transponder is, then put the blade from the replacement key back in.
It's not that difficult to do, and eliminates all issues with coding the keys.
If the electronics of the key has failed, then things get more complicated, so knowing what the issue is would help.

Above is the lockset that I need as suggested.
See below the summary of how the fault is occurring:
Fault :
1. The car flashes the hazards lights on its own, and the dash (LAND ROVER) blacks out.
2. The car dashboard lights up but the car does not start on ignition.
3. The immobilizer LED remains continuously on and the radio section switches off.
4. If after some hours of letting it rest, the car can start and drive it about but the hazards can at anytime start to flash continuously with the touch screen blacked out (where Land Rover icon shows) and this can go on until I stop the car and switch it off!
Then the cycle continues that it won't start on the ignition!
About was the last update from the garage where the car is at!

It's not the actual lock you need then. It seems to have some form of electronic issue, which would need more in depth investigation with proper diagnostic equipment.
I think the mechanic was suggesting replacing all the coded modules off of the same vehicle, so as to eliminate coding the various modules to the vehicle.
Does the mechanic have the necessary equipment for programming modules to the vehicle?
If not, then you will probably have no alternative but to find a matching set of modules, from the correct engine.

You dont need a lock set for those faults
OMG!!!! Really?I see myself sinking into a depression now!
Any hints on troubleshooting?

First of is get a proper diagnostic read on the vehicle, preferably with a dedicated LR code reader.
You need to know all the codes that are coming up.
