FAQs: Land Rover Keys and Locks
Can you make a Land Rover key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Land Rover key from scratch by decoding the lock mechanically or by reading the immobiliser data via OBD2 or EEPROM methods, then cutting and programming a compatible key.
Do you use dealer-level equipment for Land Rover key programming?
Yes. We use dealer-level diagnostics for Land Rover/Range Rover platforms, including OBD2 programming tools and EEPROM/ECU solutions when required for all-keys-lost scenarios.
Will you damage my Land Rover when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist tools tailored to Land Rover doors and locks. In rare cases where parts are already damaged or a destructive method is unavoidable, we explain the options first.
How long does Land Rover key replacement take?
Many replacements can be completed in a single mobile visit. The exact time depends on model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll confirm a realistic timescale when you call.
Can you programme a used Land Rover key fob?
Sometimes, but many used smart keys are locked to the original vehicle. We’ll test your fob and advise if it can be reprogrammed. If not, we supply a compatible new unit and code it to your vehicle.
Do you cover both Range Rover and Land Rover Defender models?
Absolutely. We regularly work on Range Rover, Sport, Velar, Evoque, Discovery/Discovery Sport, and both classic and modern Defender models, including push-to-start systems.
