Hello
My recently acquired disco only came with one set of keys. There is a different key for the doors and ignition, so somthing had gone on there.

I would like to get a spare set but unfortunatly the ignition key is bent. Is it possible to get a replacement or could a locksmith still cut it? I'm not to bothered about the fob as I will just use the key.

I would straighten it in a vice, but as it's the only set I'm too worried about it breaking.

Thanks
Jonnym

Apply a little heat to warm it up then try the vice

I would need quite a lot of heat, the problem is it changes the strength of the alloy. It would probly be Ok though.
How do you go about getting replacement keys, it's not somthing I've done before.

Bent or not, as V8 just said, a guy at a key cut joint, can do you a new one.
