2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Java Black

Key snapped in ignition barrel

Key has been sticky for a while told local dealer and they said just spray wd40 in it, Done this a few times and Wednesday got home pulled key out and went to lock door and found half the key was missing, So phoned land rover assistance told them what the problem was and also said i needed a vehicle with a tow bar that was fine landy picked up in the morning and went and picked up range rove sport with a tow bar but no electrics so had that for a day then they phoned and said they had a disco in with a tow bar, So went back to swap and local dealer phoned and said this was no a warranty job and told me to phone land rover assistance and they would sort it out but they said it was the dealers choice, So now they want disco back and said i would have to pay to fix defender and this would not be done until tuesday and i also told him the other issues i have with it. The bloke was a total w####r. I have a busy morning to see if i get something sorted so i do not have to pay for fixing it and get the disco fora few more day cost free.
Has any one else have this happen to them .

Might has right. The key is part of the car. Get stroppy with your dealer and LR customer services. LR cust serv should be able to sort it for you by talking to your dealer direct.

Both the ignition and key is part of the car as genuine parts.

Check the warranty booklet to see if it specifically EXCLUDES the key...they beat them with that. Mike

I had my ignition barrel drivers lock, and rear door lock swapped out under warranty for EXACTLY the same reason! If they want to quip about it get them to pull the history on MAL 922W and they can see themselves!!!

lyon99, would the dealer in question be Stratstones of Perth or Cupar? This is just a guess based on the total w####r quote

If so I suggest you give Morrisons of Stirling or Taggarts in Motherwell a phone call and explain the situation to them. The key and barrel are part of the vehicle and are covered under warranty. Morrisons would be the closest to you, but I use Taggarts in Motherwell and cannot fault them for warranty work, which may have something to do with the number of Landrover garages in the central belt

First thing Monday morning I would be onto LR customer services explaining the service you have received and ask them what are they going to do about it taking nothing less than the keys and locks being replaced under warranty.

My 110 was serviced this week and the dealer changed all the locks under warranty. I only asked them to check the back door lock for corrosion and they changed the lot. I would expect the lock to be replaced if you are still in warranty.
Anyway....LRA are on there way over now to look at problem with the steering column. I wonder why

Well 7 days have went by and no further forward with local LR dealership spoke to LRA and i need to pay for key and barrel and labour and hire of disco f##k nows how much this is going to come to, LRA said they will look at parts and refund me or credit me, but i do not need there f#####g credit i dont use them and do not want them to get any money from me, I have to say the disco for towing with the auto box is the way to go for trailer work when are they putting auto box in the trusty defender
