📰 Lost Your Range Rover or Jaguar Keys? Here’s What to Do (UK Guide 2025)
Losing your Range Rover or Jaguar keys can be stressful — especially with today’s encrypted smart keys and push-to-start systems. Whether your key has stopped working or you’ve lost it completely, this quick guide explains exactly what to do next, how long it takes, and how a specialist auto locksmith like Auto Keyz can get you back on the road fast.
🧭 1. Stay Calm and Check the Basics
Before panicking, take a moment to retrace your steps:
- Check coat pockets, bags, gym lockers, and under car seats
- Ask family or co-workers if they’ve moved your keys
- If your car has keyless entry, check whether it still detects a signal inside the vehicle
If you have a spare key, use it temporarily — but keep it separate so you don’t risk losing both.
🔧 2. Call a Certified Auto Locksmith — Not the Dealer
Main dealers can take 5–10 days to order and code new keys, and you’ll usually have to tow the vehicle to them.
A mobile auto locksmith can come directly to you, program a new key the same day, and save you up to 50 % compared to dealer prices.
At Auto Keyz, we:
- Provide same-day key replacement for Range Rover, Jaguar, and Land Rover models (2010 – 2025)
- Use dealer-level diagnostic tools for secure programming
- Cover Kent, London, and the South East UK with a fully mobile service
🧾 3. Information You’ll Need
To help us replace your key quickly and securely, please have:
- Vehicle make, model, and year
- Vehicle registration (V5C logbook or photo)
- Proof of ID
- Location of the vehicle
Providing these details lets us verify ownership and dispatch the right technician immediately.
⚙️ 4. How Replacement Keys Are Made
Modern Jaguar and Range Rover keys are encrypted and linked to your vehicle’s immobiliser.
Here’s what happens when we create a new key:
Key Cutting:
A new blade is precision-cut to match your locks using manufacturer data.
Programming:
We connect diagnostic equipment through the OBD port to pair the new key or fob with your vehicle’s ECU.
Testing:
We test remote locking, start/stop, and proximity detection to ensure full functionality.
All keys are guaranteed and programmed using official, licensed software — never cloned or bypassed.
💷 5. Cost & Timeframe
Prices vary depending on model and key type but typically range between £250 – £450.
Most replacements are completed within 1–2 hours on site, with emergency call-outs available 7 days a week.
