also if they do not flip BOTH keys when it time to do the second side, it will probably only work one way.

 

Hi Offroad france, thanks for the information, i am researching the starter terminal. I read online it is located on the passenger side near the engine? I just want to double/triple check since i do not want to ruin my LR.

Also is there another other thing i need to know???

I will grab a small 12V motorcycle battery and bring my fob underneath my LR.

THANKS AGAIN.

Any other advice will be appreciated.

 

Winner. Went to True Value. They have every kind of key produced it seems.

Mine says X239 RV4 on it.

Geezer there cut it matching up the shoulders, ignoring the length, then just trimmed it down a little bit on the end to match.



Works in the door and ignition first time, no hastle.

I also wake up this morning to a text from the previous owner. "Hey, I found the spare key, want it?" Classic.

So now I have three keys. Think I will get one of those magnetic boxes, put the true value one in it covered in silicone and hide it under the car somewhere. For that time I am in a car park very far away and disaster strikes.

 

Oh well, can't have too many keys. I always keep one underneath all of my vehicles, has saved me more times than once.

I haven't lost my remote yet (knock on wood) but, I did leave it on the back bumper of someones jeep once. They left and I couldn't find my keys so after looking all over for about 30 minutes I called them to see if I may have left it in or on their jeep anywhere and they pulled over on side of the interstate to look and found them laying on their back bumper. They had traveled about 50 miles and the keys were still there. Got lucky on that one.

I also lost my remote key here once for a few days. That's around the time I went and had 4 blanks cut.

 

So, I just faced this exact dreaded situation. After pilfering Google and YouTube for info on another way to get in, I'd suggest instead of breaking the window to pop the cap off the lock mechanism on the door handle (it takes relative force but does pop off and back on after.) Once the cap is off, just remove the tumbler. It's in my opinion a much better solution than smashing a window. I refused to do that. I had to break the tumbler out in pieces as I couldn't access the release from the outside of the door. I removed that and took a long phillips screwdriver and was able to use the electronic switch inside and unlock all the doors. Also, it helps so you don't have to worry about the dreaded superlock. (I've used the word dreaded twice in the same paragraph, hahaha)

It's the truck I bought for my fiance, she loves the thing. I will stick with my BMW E90. But hopefully my information helps somebody out there.

Go snag a tumbler from a junkyard and have a locksmith reset the pins in the new one. As far as the linkage pin once I rebuild the tumbler assembly, I am between the nail, or the heavy duty linkage pin kit they sell on eBay, justifying $35 for a piece of metal is tough. The previous owner used JB weld to make the last "pin" it was pretty much hilarious. Until my fiance broke it on the first turn after I tried to temporarily repair it. But long story short, crisis averted.

 

Just tried this and my battery charger (6A) goes into "overload" (as if it's shorted) and shuts off. I made sure that the positive clamp from the charger was on the positive starter terminal and the negative clipped to the frame. Any ideas?

 

Instead of your battery charger, try using jumper cables. Jumper cables won't go into "overload."

 

Weird. When I used the same battery charger directly on the battery it didn't have any problems. If the starter terminal is directly connected to the battery, then it should work the same. I don't want to blow anything up...

 

6 amps battery charger is NOT man enough. Use a good battery and jump cables, the stater motor pulls more amps than anything on an LR. Make sure you connect the correct way around or there will be a HUGE flash and more issues. Good luck!
