110_USA Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have a 83 Defender 110 3 door. All three locks work manually and appear to be 2 different models but nearly identical. The ignition key doesn't operate any of them. Can they be changed by a locksmith to accept the ignition key? Also where can I get an ignition key blank? I'm a bit a newbie so bear with me. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot. The lock barrels themselves are an easy DIY swap over to replacement ones- no need for a locksmith. A set of three keyed alike (i.e. the supplied keys fit all three of them) door lock barrels can be bought for about £10. I believe that dealers can also supply a set of door locks matched to your existing ignition key... might have dreamt that bit though Any key cutter should be able to supply a suitable ignition key blank.

Mo Murphy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think you dreamt that bit, Shrek Welcome, 110 USA You'll always have a seperate ignition key and door locks. The best you can do is to have all the door locks and fuel filler the same then you'll have to carry 2 keys, surely not to much of a burden Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 My defender has one key that does the doors and ignition. Land Rover sell replacement lock sets where they are all the same key. It's the older models that had a seperate ignition key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think the one key for all came with the TD5 Defender but it's not a cheap option I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alantd Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've got 2 keys - 1 for ignition and locks + 1 for fuel cap. The 07 has gone backwards IMHO in that you now have to unlock and then physically lock the fuel cap. My Td5 was unlock only - it would self lock once screwed back in.

Mondo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I did a door lock change on mine but couldn't fathom out how to change the lock barrel in the fuel cap, so now I am stuck with 3 keys.. Anyone have any ideas how to remove the fuel cap lock barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Anyone have any ideas how to remove the fuel cap lock barrel? When you find out please tell me. 110_USA When you come to change the barrels on the doors.... If you have that big plte on the inside of the door... Eye up where the screw head is for the back of the barrel, then drill a hole in the plate to allow you to get the screwdriver to the screw head. Believe me it makes the job a doddle. Thank you BT mechanics for giving me that tip.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110_USA Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks everyone, I'll have locksmith have a look see, wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting time. One more key sure won't be an issue with the 20 I carry around anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
