Hi,

Like a lot of people on here, I've got a 2nd hand disco. Unfortunately the keys that came with the car were not the original keys, but replacements. The replacements have now stopped working.

I've spoken to a car locksmith who told me that he couldn't order the keys himself and that I'd have to talk to Land Rover. I phoned Land Rover and was told that they can order the keys, but can't code them as the vehicle is no longer supported.

That means that I'm looking at spending £308.60 for 2x replacement keys from Land Rover and £350 for a car locksmith to come out and code the keys once I have them.

Unfortunately, being new to LR ownership, I didn't know to check for my EKA code when I bought the car. Looking now, it is missing from the log book, meaning I now can't disable the immobilisers until I get new keys.

Does anyone know of a service/way of replacing the keys for less than £660?!

Cheers,
Duncan
 
Would someone with a Nanocom or Hawkeye be able to help interrogate/program the EKA....or is it too late for that now?

Can you still manually unlock the driver's door and then start the disco?

Even though you say that LR told you that your vehicle is no longer supported, they should still have your vehicle's security data on file somewhere in their computer system. It was always provided separately, not in the handbook but on a little card which a previous owner always forgets to hand on.

If you provide "confirmation of ownership"; the V5, they should be able to provide you with the original EKA and radio code, just for the asking, assuming that nobody has changed them in the meantime.
