Hi all, new boy here just mainly been lurking but im needing some advice please.

I went to a local pub last night, a few John Smith's later we ventured to a local night club too bust some John Travolta moves as you do. I stumbed out 3am and got a lift back to the other half's house 12 miles away from home, had a bit of a tiff with her and she decided the best thing to do was smash my phone, so a 12 mile walk with no way of calling help was enjoyed :mad:

So i check i have the usual equiptment, keys, wallet etc only to discover no keys for my Discovery which i left at a pub in town. I've been to every pub i was in, checked car i got a lift in but no keys, simply gone. I don't have a spare either which doesnt help.

So after that long winded story we get to my question, what are my options for gaining access/ getting it going again. Smashing the drivers window in is at the top of my list at the moment to put it on the back of a truck and take it back to my workshop, but i dont want to go getting excited before i explore all other options, and once im in, changing all the locks ignition doors etc is seeming the best option at the moment but how will i get round my central locking/ immobilisor?

Thanks for any help in advance. :D
 
hate to say it mate but as your first post your technically asking us how to break into a disco....

.....some might say this is a tad fishy.

PS, this is a warning: some on here will not be so kind to you for this as your first post.
 
I never thought about it like that actually.. I will go and introduce myself in the correct section and chuck a couple photos up of my Disco.
 
Always keep great quality photos of your keys. If you lose 'em you can send the pics and they can make you new keys.
 
dont see why youd need to smash a window to get it on a lorry.
will a lr main dealer have yer key code on their puter?
 
Would need to get the handbrake off to get it on the lowloader.

A local company say's they can make me a key using my chassis number so im going to speak to them tomorrow, and another firm will programme me a new fob. Hopefully works out that way.
 
Glad you're getting sorted out with new keys and fob.

As for getting it onto the back of a lorry, surely just backing off the transmission brake adjuster would allow it to be winched up a ramp?
 
That never even crossed my mind.

All going well these chaps will be able to get me a new key made up and there will be no need for anymore carry on with it. i will be making sure i get a spare made this time aswel!
 
Have you considered apologising to the OH, flowers and chocolates perhaps :D

Bet thats where your keys are

I don't usualy but as i was planning on staying at the other half's i had them with me so i could pick the landy up when i got back to town the the following evening.

I think i have it sorted, local company got my key code from Land Rover and have made me another key. They are going to the Landy tomorrow to programme a new key fob. Rather expensive night out now that this is another £200! :mad:
 
you could ask a pikey!! they can take em away easy as pie !!!
main dealer will supply keys from vin assuming its got its original lockset fitted !!!!!
