So I've done a lot of research on this and while I've been able to find a lot of other people that have had similar problems, I've been unable to find a solution.
A couple days ago, my only key broke off in my drivers side door. I've been to the dealership and had two keys made but neither one of them start the rover. They both unlock the doors though. I've tried jiggling the key for hours to no avail. I have A spare vehicle to drive right now, but the rover is stuck at the mall.
I have no idea what to do next. I'm real low on money and I just want to get it home. I can't afford to go have more $30 keys made hoping that one of them will eventually work. Also the parts dept will be closing for the weekend in about an hour.
I'm willing to hot wire it if I need to. Of course if anyone has a better idea I'd much rather try another way. I just really need to get it home before it gets towed.
I just got the rover a couple months ago and am a complete noob. I have a decent understanding of basic automotive mechanics (my last vehicle was a nissan 240sx that I basically rebuilt) but I've never really worked on a land rover before.
By the way, I have a 98 discovery. Thanks in advance for your help!
