Title: lost ignition key, hotwire?
Post by: anaxemurderer on December 06, 2008, 17:44:20

Hi

I seem to have lost the only ignition key for my rrc. Need it by next sunday (preferably before), anybody got any ideas?

I guess i have to work out how to hot wire it? How do i get around the steering column lock?

Seeing as this is a public forum, it might be best if ideas are pm'ed to me. Don't know that its a good idea to write about how to steal cars!

Cheers

Nick

Get in touch with LR, With your V5c and proof of Id they should be able to give you the key number(if it still has the origanal locks) Cut key too number, £5 to LR for key, job done.
