I believe you can have them cut just with the VIN?

SpanishTony · Apr 23, 2015

I always leave a window open if I ever get out of a P38 with the key still in ignition

boycie · Apr 23, 2015

If you play with a flat battery or change a battery on a P38 golden rule is leave a door open or a window if possible but most important one is key in pocket never in ignition.

boycie · Apr 23, 2015

I have just learnt that the hard way Wammers.

If you are ordering a new FOB, unless you know the number of you existing FOB, order a FOB number 3. Wit two FOB's of the same number, only one can be synced.

boycie · Apr 24, 2015

My existing fob is marked key no.4 so I will order key no.1 Thanks .

Is the VIN stored in the BECM? Could check with diagnostics.

Yes can be read with Nanocom. But if the BECM is locked EKA and Fob code can't be read.

I will take the car and a photo copy of the V5 into Greytec Landrover and ask them to check the vin on the becm and order me a key.
