Terry’s Locksmiths Expertise with Land Rover Discovery Ignitions, Keys, and Door Locks

At Terry’s Locksmiths, we have years of experience working with Land Rover Discovery vehicles, handling everything from key programming to ignition repairs and door lock troubleshooting. Our expertise spans models from the Discovery 3 to Discovery 4, using advanced tools like Smart Pro, Autel, and VVDI to offer tailored solutions, whether you’re dealing with lost keys, need a spare key, or facing ignition issues. Below, we delve into some specific technical cases that demonstrate our capabilities in handling Land Rover Discovery locksmith services.

Key Programming for Land Rover Discovery

Land Rover Discovery vehicles require precise key programming, especially for proximity (Prox) keys and remotes. Depending on whether you’re dealing with all keys lost or simply need a spare, we deploy different tools to ensure accurate programming.

  • Job 60238: In a 2009 Land Rover Discovery case where all keys were lost, we programmed a genuine Proximity Key (MK3662) using Smart Pro. This 5-button Prox key, operating at 433MHz, was coded successfully, allowing the customer to regain access to their vehicle.

  • Job 60581: For a 2005 Land Rover Discovery spare key situation, we supplied and programmed an aftermarket remote key (Landrover-R06B2) using Smart Pro. The key, a 3-button flip type at 433MHz, provided full functionality without needing original dealer parts.

  • Job 86769: In a 2015 Discovery 4 case, where all keys were lost, we used VVDI Key Tool PLUS to program an aftermarket Proximity Key (VVDI-R02). The key utilized Land Rover’s 49 keyless go system, and our team ensured seamless functionality, programming both the remote and the immobilizer system.

Working with Genuine and Aftermarket Keys

One of our key strengths is the ability to work with both genuine and aftermarket key solutions, depending on the situation. For spare key requests, we can use Lonsdor or Xtool, while lost key scenarios require more advanced tools like Autel or Smart Pro.

  • Tech Notes (2013-2015): If the customer has a working original dealer key, we can program an aftermarket key to act as a spare, ensuring cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. However, in all keys lost cases, using Autel or Smart Pro becomes essential to ensure complete system reprogramming.

  • Job 82116: In a 2009 Discovery case where the customer supplied their own key, we programmed a genuine Turn Key Remote (MK13675) using Smart Pro. This 3-button flip key operated at 433MHz and required simultaneous coding of the remote and chip, highlighting our precision in handling Land Rover keys.

Ignition and Door Lock Solutions for Land Rover Discovery

Ignition repairs and door lock troubleshooting in Land Rover Discovery vehicles can be complex, requiring specialized knowledge and tools. Whether you need a new key or have issues with the ignition system, our team is equipped to handle it all.

  • Tech Notes (2009-2012 Discovery 4): For Discovery 4 models, we use a combination of Lishi picks and decoding techniques to handle blade cuts, while programming is done using Autel or Smart Pro. These models typically use a PROX Silver HU101 key system, which requires expert handling to ensure smooth ignition and locking mechanisms.

  • Job 86839: In a 2014 Discovery case, we faced a challenge where the proximity key needed to be “virginised” before we could code it into the system using Smart Pro. This required advanced technical knowledge to reset the key’s memory before programming it successfully into the vehicle.

Land Rover Discovery Lost Key Scenarios

Handling lost key scenarios for Land Rover Discovery vehicles requires a combination of advanced tools and expertise. We often use Smart Pro, Autel, and VVDI Key Tool Max to retrieve security codes and program new keys from scratch, ensuring no previous keys remain active in the system.

  • Job 81239: In a 2013 Land Rover Discovery case where all keys were lost, we supplied and programmed a genuine Proximity Key (MK13662) using Smart Pro. The challenge in this case was to ensure that the new key fully synced with the vehicle’s proximity system, which we accomplished without the need for EEPROM programming.

  • Job 88730: For another 2013 Discovery case where all keys were lost, we supplied and programmed an aftermarket proximity key using the Smart Pro tool. This job involved working with a Range Rover 5-button Prox key operating at 433MHz. Our ability to handle both genuine and aftermarket keys gives our customers flexibility, especially in urgent lost key situations.
