Hi People,
Hope you're all well?
My wife managed to put one of my FL2 keys in the rubbish bin today. It was retrieved but this made me think of how would i replace a lost key should this happen and the rubbish got taken away.

Does anyone have any knowledge of how to get a key cheaply?

Options:
1. LR Replacement key and blade for approx £140+VAT plus £40+ for programming the new key
2. Purchase key insurance - does anyone have experience of these companies that offer it indecent of normal car insurance
3. or could i get a key from a breakers yard and have LR re-programme it?

Help as always is appreciated,

Chris

Do you not have it included on your house insurance? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Keys are once only programmable.
So don't buy one from a scrapyard, and be VERY wary of buying one off eBay Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

its never cheap in my experience Jules

Cheers people,
I've called my car insurance and they've added it for £5.99 for the year.
Bargain,
Chris

Most people probably don't have "lost credit card" insurance any more after they were accused of mis-selling, but if you do it probably covers keys as well. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

i have had it once on my car insurance, cost something like £20 extra, which was luckly as i 'lost' a key that year, and another stroke of luck it was a dodgy key that didn't work all the time due to the buttons been duff

Thought, never lost a key in my life, I've 'lost' one, and doubt it would happen again, especially as i changed cars, and on a new car you get newer keys, so cancelled it off at renewal  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

sorry no advice given, just a story of my incredible bad luck  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

silly question but do most car insurances come with lost key cover or is that nearly always a optional extra? MY2014 HSE Santorini Black

I think rac can provide key cover

Hi, thanks for replying, do you mean I can just buy key cover as a one off, or it would be part of my insurance if I went with them? MY2014 HSE Santorini Black

My motor policy's with Admiral and includes as standard lost keys and lock cover up to £300
