Friday night my mate lost my house keys - with v8 keys on!
Saturday another friend had a spare key, he has put somewhere that safe even he cant find it.
We know how easy it is to get into a 90 so that's not the problem.
Its an early defender so has a steering lock built in.
How do i go about smashing/removing this and then buying a replacement & some keys?
Thanks in advance people!
Bob
Full Version: KEYS- LOST!
Depends on how early. Lift handle is removing the lockin pin in the barrel via a drill. Push lock type is to remove the screw at the back.

The doors are push lock. - That im not too worried about.
Its the blummin steering lock/barrel ignition bits!
I do realise it sounds dodgy - I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE THOUGH!
Im sure a few people on here know im not a crook.
You can buy a replacement ignition key/steering lock assembly, they normally come with 2 keys. Buy two new sheer bolts at the same time.
The whole assembly can be unbolted from the steering column, strip the shrouds, switches and so on off the column to get to the ignition/lock assembly. Once you have access to it you will then need a stud extractor to remove the two sheer bolts that hold the assembly to the column or you can drill them out. It's a long job but not difficult.
For the door locks, you can buy a couple of replacement barrels (again, supplied with keys) and replace the barrels in your locks - without a key you'll have to drill the old barrels out though as you normally have to put the key into the barrel to withdraw it.
