I saw this link from an old post on another site. It is a cheap fix for our crappy ignition switch.

I ordered this. 33 pounds plus 15 pounds for shipping comes to $63 dollars and its new. On ebay used ones in questionable shape are $200. That dollar to pound ratio is helping out.




Steering Lock / Ignition Switch Discovery 2 (Economy) D2LOCK Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

 

Seems like a good find. IDK why the description mentions an immobilizer though because the D2 key doesn't have a chip for that.

 

Curious to see how this works out. Looks like a RHD switch to me.

As for the immobilizer, I think they refer to that as the tumbler at the bottom.

It is basically the same concept as using the D1 manual switch. It will plug in and work, you just have to remove the tumbler and apply the D2 tumbler and it works.

 

Most NAS vehicles don't have passive immobilization enabled in the BCU. I don't know if they have the coil for it or not, but either way, with it disabled, you shouldn't need two keys like the description says.
