afrolite Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi all, I've got a D plate 90, My keys went walkies on sat night. can't seem to find the key no.tried contact a dealership with my VIN but no joy.

old.bodger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If this is the ignition barrel - I think you may be in the classic 'catch 22'. I have not replaced a landrover barrel but the ones I have, require the key to be in the barrel to allow removal. Putting the key in retracts ( or allows the depression) of a hardened pin thus allowing the removal of the barrel. otherwise it's just down to 'butchery'. I guess it's to stop theft.

nickwilliams Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You can't replace the key barrel in the ignition on a 90. If you've lost the ignition key you need a complete new ignition lock assembly. BTDT! Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrolite Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 ahh, thanks. so they lied to me, going to dealership in morning, took the the whole ignition assembly off, will take with me, and see what can be done!!!

UdderlyOffroad Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Got me a pattern one (item 1, QRF100870 for your model year, assuming TD engine) for not many £££ and appears to work fine: Didn't bother with the 'shear nuts' though (item 5) - probably not the best security but hey it's a defender!!

afrolite Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great, thanks a lot, went to the dealer today, they ordered me a barrel for the door!!!! think they missed when I said "ignition", they tryed charging me £130 for a new Steering Column Lock Assembly, think i'll go for the £30 one. cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
