Land Rover Key Replacement
How Can I Get My Land Rover Key Replaced?
We offer key replacement and repair services extending to a range of different Land Rover models. Our technicians have expert knowledge of Land Rovers to replace and repair both manual and remote car keys for your model. And if you’re worried if our services will cover your vehicle or not, contact us any time and get a free quote.
You can get a Range Rover spare key or replacement key for any Land Rover model through your dealer. But this could take up to ten days (or longer) and will be expensive. A much better option is to give us a call – we have the latest and most advanced equipment that allows us to make new Land Rover car keys and program them to your car, and we can do it all in less than a day (excluding special orders!).
Fill in the Form
To streamline the process, simply complete our online Call Back Request form with your contact details. An operator will call you back immediately. If you prefer not to fill out the form, just give us a call or use the chat option – we’re happy to assist you and provide all the information you need!
Give Us a Call
We will ask you a few key questions to understand what services you need, such as whether you require car key programming or Land Rover key fob replacement. We’ll also advise on the cost of labour and parts. You can then either come to one of our workshops or have our mobile service come to you.
Identify Your Land Rover Key Type
Do you have a traditional manual key, remote key, or keyless entry fob? Knowing your key type is essential, as each requires a different replacement process. No matter the type, our experts have the skills and technology to handle any Land Rover key replacement.
About Land Rover Keys
- All Land Rovers released after 1995 have a transponder chip in the key and an immobiliser installed into the car to ensure only your key works in your Land Rover.
- The keys for your Land Rover will only work if they are specifically programmed to the immobiliser in your Land Rover.
- Second-hand and unlicensed sellers are unreliable suppliers of the types of keys used in different Land Rover models and most car keys purchased on auction websites do not work.
- Due to the technology used in car keys, getting your replacement keys from a dealer can be expensive and take ten days or longer. We have the latest and most advanced equipment that allows us to make new keys and program them to your car – all in less than a day.
- When you buy a Land Rover from a second-hand car dealer, they will often only give you one set of car keys. Having two sets of keys for your Land Rover is essential in an emergency.
Land Rover Car Key Services
Step one, don’t panic. If your key is lost, damaged, or worn out, we’ve got you covered. Car Keys Solutions offers a range of fob replacement and same-day services so your vehicle can keep up with you. Here’s what you can expect from us:
Land Rover Spare Keys or Replacement Keys
Keys can be lost or in a completely different location, which is why spare keys are vital for multiple drivers using the same car. Whether you need to replace a Range Rover key fob battery or want a specific Range Rover spare key made or replaced, we will meet you on-site and get you back on the road quickly. And we recommend you come to us to have your spare car keys cut and programmed.
Land Rover Car Key Programming
Over time, your key’s transponder may stop working or desynchronise and need reprogramming; we offer reprogramming services for land rover keys. Also, it’s important to note that Range rovers manufactured after 1995 have had significant upgrades to their mechanics and electronics systems. This means you must get your keys programmed if your model is more recent.
Land Rover Car Key Repair
A broken range rover key doesn’t always need to be replaced; repair is a valuable solution that is also cost effective in the long term. If your key is bent or broken or the fob stops working, and we think it can be repaired, we will happily fix it on the same day. Get in touch with us for a quote for same-day service.
Land Rover Lost or Broken Key
Key fobs aren’t always available, which means recovering a lost or broken key can take a long time. We can make a Range Rover spare key or replacement key in less than a day and are cheaper than going to the dealer. Our spare keys are thoroughly tested and ensure a smooth and quick return to normal vehicle operations for you.
Land Rover Ignition Barrel Repair
A damaged or worn out ignition barrel can stop you from starting your car normally. If your key is stuck in the ignition barrel or the door lock, our technicians can quickly diagnose whether it’s the key or lock that’s faulty and get it fixed in no time. Our key repair and replacement services come with a one-year guarantee, and all of our services have a 100% money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.
Land Rover Key Fob Battery Replacement
If your Land Rover key fob isn't working anymore, it may just be a simple battery failure. If you are not sure how to replace a Land Rover key for the battery, at Car Keys Solutions, we provide an affordable and quick service, either at our workshops or we can come to you with our mobile service.

How Do Land Rover Keys Work?
As technology advances, car keys are becoming more advanced and high-tech than we could ever imagine. Unfortunately, that also means getting a replacement key made is becoming increasingly expensive. When you have your car keys replaced at a Land Rover dealer, you may have to pay extortionate prices due to the advanced technologies in both the key and the car.
As of 1995, most manufactured cars are fitted with an immobiliser. Over the years, immobiliser design and their placement in the car have changed. But ultimately, their purpose and basic function are still fundamentally the same.
Modern car keys contain a unique transponder chip. When you place the key in the ignition, and you have, for example, the Ghost Immobiliser in your Land Rover, it will recognise the chip and start the car. Any key with a transponder chip that’s not programmed specifically to your car will mean your Land Rover won’t turn on or it may immediately switch off after you’ve started it.
With this system in place, only the person carrying your key can access your car. It also allows you to deactivate your key if it is lost or stolen. This brilliant technology has likely prevented thousands of cars from being stolen.
The downside is replacing car keys has become more complicated, because they have to be programmed individually for each car. That is why we warn against buying keys from unlicensed or second-hand sellers. The keys will not be programmed to your car and are highly unlikely to work.
You could buy a replacement key or Range Rover spare key from an official Land Rover dealer, but it may be expensive and take a while. Rather, get your Land Rover replacement keys from us. Our auto key locksmiths are experts who can easily reprogram keys if they desynchronise or program newly made keys.
We offer an in-shop or mobile service solution for all your JLR key services.
Land Rover Car Keys Prices
In 2018, JLR (aka: Jaguar Land Rover) was the first manufacturer to introduce ultra-wide band (UWB) key technology. This prevents thieves from stealing a vehicle using a device with a relay signal - another method referred to as ‘keyless theft' or 'relay attack'.
Ensuring the security and proper functioning of a spare key, involves a number of steps and requires technical know-how, and if a new key has to be cut and programmed from scratch, we can do the additional work to install it on the vehicle itself.
JLR range prices:
- From £125 to £324 for LAND ROVER manual keys,
- From £143 to £381 for LAND ROVER remote keys,
- From £281 to £550 for LAND ROVER keyless keys,
excluding the models that have received the security updates(2017-2019) and all new models, where JLR has implemented new security measures.
For the new models, to do a spare key or to replace a lost keyless entry key, the BCM (Body Control Module) and the KVM (Keyless Vehicle Module) need to be replaced.
We have developed a method to avoid this, by reprogramming the old BCM module, add a new KVM(Keyless Vehicle Module) with the possibility to add multiple new keys, and saving the customer money. However, replacement key prices for new models are much higher than average. The prices for the new models are £1440 for a spare keyless and £1820 for a lost keyless key (using our method). Changing both modules BCM and KVM, the price is higher than that.
What Affects the Land Rover Key Replacement Price?
In the past, car keys were much less technical, and you could easily (and cheaply) get your vehicle keys cut at most key-cutting services. Now, car manufacturers are concentrating on vehicle security, meaning the keys are complicated (and expensive) electronic devices.
- Type of Key: The cost varies depending on whether the car comes with a manual, remote, or keyless type of entry.
- Cutting the Blade and Programming the Key: This is a necessary and intricate process to ensure proper functioning of the key at all times.
- Vehicle Make and Model: The more upmarket or newer the vehicle, the higher the cost of the replacement key.
- Vehicle Year of Manufacture: Any make of the Land Rover after 1995 is equipped with high security measures, which means the keys are also a lot more complex in nature.
- Vehicle Specification: Typically, the more recent the make and model, the higher the cost to replace or repair the key. Newer keys have built-in wires and software that help drivers keep up with the rising security standards for everyday vehicles.
