Evening all

Is it possible to get an additional key or two for an L322 circa 2003?

The one I'm picking up this week only has the one which is quite worn, and a spare is always handy

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

Oh yes from a stealer, and sit down as they are around £200

and just get a new blade and have it reprogramed....im sure it can be done but im not sure on the costs "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Frustrating because the original part used to be around £10! When it was on Part# CWE000090 then it was superseded to YDM000010 as is a ridiculous £175! 

Plus you will need to pay someone with full Land Rover Tech to program it to "Start" the car as the lock programming will not work for the immobiliser....

Could be as much as £50 but I got away with £10 at an indy.....

Key for the early models come programmed to start the vehicle, but they need to be coded to open the doors, The early cars don't need the keys to be set up on the computer but the later models do.

Anything Facelift will defo need LR programming. I had a new key on a 55 SC and that needed programming to start the car. Its easy to program the new key to locks yourself

does this mean if he buys the key in my link and gets a new blade for it that it will start his car ? "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

I only have one key with mine (2003 Model), and my local dealer (Guy Salmon) has quoted me £221 inclusive, for the key, car and immobiliser programming.

They said that they will need the vin number as the alarm/immobiliser is programmed for the car from the factory. Then after they recieve it they will programme the locks on the car.

I have no idea how much of that is true as I hear so many things about the keys and programming. Reformed

I need a new key for mine, I only have 1 for the car and I'm paranoid that I'll lose it, same goes for my work van only got 1 key for that too.

The car is due a service so might get a key done at the same time. 2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

The key is made of 3 parts. 1) blade needed to turn the barrel and start, easy to change get new ones, 2) electronic button bit, can be programed to open/close doors etc. Any key which is the same on eBay can be programed by yourself to open/close. There are BMW keys that can be used, 3) transponder chip! This is the hard bit which needs dealer programing to talk to the immobiliser. If you have spare keys with worn buttons the chips can be moved from key to key but if you only have one key it's a trip to the dealer to be dry humped in exchange for a new key.

And can take for ever to arrive, as they have to be ordered from Germany
