Common Land Rover Key Problems We Solve
From classic keys to the latest proximity fobs, Land Rovers use advanced immobiliser technology. These are the issues we fix every day:
- Lost or stolen Land Rover keys: Immediate roadside solutions to cut and program a replacement and, if needed, erase old keys from your vehicle’s memory for security.
- Locked keys in the car or boot: Non-destructive entry methods designed to protect your Land Rover’s high-security locks and weather seals.
- Smart key not detected: Diagnosis and repair for proximity key faults, including low-frequency aerial issues, key battery problems, or immobiliser sync faults.
- Faulty or water-damaged fobs: Key fob repair or full replacement if the electronics are beyond repair.
- Key snapped or worn: Blade repair, key blade replacement, and broken key extraction from door locks or ignition where applicable.
- Central locking or start button issues: We identify whether the fault lies with the key, immobiliser, or vehicle module using OBD2 diagnostics.
- ECU/immobiliser programming: Re-synchronisation and programming when modules have been replaced or software has reset.

How Our Land Rover Auto Locksmith Service Works
We combine experience with dealer-level tools to deliver a smooth, reliable fix:
- Assessment and security check
- We verify ownership and assess your Land Rover’s system: year, model, VIN, and immobiliser type.
- Non-destructive vehicle entry
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist lock picks and verified methods to open your vehicle without damage wherever possible. We’ll explain any rare exceptions before we begin.
- Diagnostics and programming
- Using OBD2 diagnostics and JLR-capable tools, we connect to your Land Rover’s immobiliser system to add new keys, disable missing ones, and re-sync the system.

- We cut laser-cut or standard blades precisely on-site and program the transponder or smart key.
- We test lock/unlock, boot release, and start/stop functions to ensure everything works exactly as it should.

FAQs: Land Rover Keys And Locks
Can you make a new Land Rover key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a Land Rover key without the original by accessing your vehicle’s immobiliser data via OBD2 diagnostics. If the system requires it, we can use EEPROM methods to retrieve data directly from the module. We’ll then cut and program a new key on-site.
Will you have to tow my Land Rover to a dealer?
No. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you. We carry dealer-level equipment for Land Rover and Range Rover models, making roadside key replacement and programming possible without towing.
Can you program smart keys for newer Range Rover models?
Yes. We handle smart key programming and proximity key replacement for modern push-to-start Range Rovers, including Evoque, Velar, and current Range Rover/Range Rover Sport. We also de-authorise lost keys for security.
My Land Rover says “Key Not Detected.” What does that mean?
It could be a weak key battery, a failed fob, interference, or a vehicle-side antenna/immobiliser issue. We diagnose whether the problem is with the key or the car and repair or replace what’s needed. See more about key fob not working.
Can you remove a broken key from my Land Rover’s door or ignition?
Yes. We offer broken key extraction and can replace the key blade or supply a complete new key if the blade is worn or damaged. If the lock or ignition is compromised, we can advise on repair options. For wider lock or ignition issues, visit: Car lock and ignition issues.
How long does Land Rover key replacement take?
Many jobs are completed the same day. Times vary by model, key type (standard vs smart), and whether immobiliser data access requires advanced methods. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
Is this service more affordable than a dealer?
Often, yes. We save time and cost by coming to you and programming keys on-site, avoiding towing and dealer wait times. For how we price, see: Affordable auto locksmith prices in North West London.
