Hi all.
I have little question about Range Rover P38 driver's door outside handle - if I buy all new handle (with lock) how it will accept my key? It will automatically accept first key or I need to do something to reprogram it? Thanks in advance for replies

You have to quote your VIN number when ordering. The handle then comes matched to your key.

But if there are handles in stock - are they programmed for random key? And are there any possibilities to reprogram lock manually (if it is a handle for a wrong key)?

I'm fairly sure the handle itself doesn't reads the key code, the lock barrel for the key blade is built from the key blade record that Land Rover have in their record for the vehicle.
The key-code transmitted by the key fob, is read or received by another part of the locking system.

Why do you want to change the exterior handle? The door handle is a mechanical lock nothing more, no programming is required.

You can't unless you have the new lock number to cut a new key to. You cannot make your old key fit it.
