key broke off in ignition, light is red?
My ignition light is red and it is usually green. hubs broke the key off in the ignition yesterday, but as we are waiting for payday (military is great!) we just drove it with the key broken. but now we can't get the tumbler to turn and the ignition light is red. we can probably get a locksmith out tuesday, but not any sooner than that. any suggestions? i have to work tomorrow and need to be able to drive myself to work. thanks!!!

also see this for work arounds https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...highlight=lock - if you decide to take it apart, do the work over a big bowl or cookie sheet, tiny parts can go in many directions at once. Also good to show locksmith.

I would swear mine is always red ... will take a look when I get home tonight.
This is a totally crazy suggestion that I dunno if it can cause other problems, but I might try a dab of super glue or my all-time favorite liquid nails to "rejoin" the parts of the key. With something like liquid nails you have to be VERY careful you do not use too much as you could seal that broken piece in there real good.

Hi,
I just went out and checked my 2000 DII SD and when I place the key in the ignition, the plastic circular ring around the ignition is red.
It is also red when I turn it to either position and it remains red after the truck is started and placed in reverse or drive.
Hope this helps!
