I lost the keys of my removable tow bar, and the tow bar is on. I asked the dealer for a new set of keys, but they tell me they cannot get the keys only, I have to buy a new tow bar. Nice, they now how to make money, don't they? Another flow in the land rover system! On the other side they tell me there are only 4/5 different set of keys for the removable tow bar and say they will try to find one of their customer with the same serial number to make copies. Of course, they never called in weeks, they are so good. Anybody had this trouble? Do you think a lock smith could do me some new keys like he would do for a house door?
i had a customer with the same problem only yesterday! i just tried all the keys to the towpacks we had on vehicles and also new ones from the parts department and eventually one worked (even the fixed tow packs have the same keys)
good luck
sorry you are not closer so i could assist further

and then what did you do? did you give one of these keys to your customer? if yes what will you do with the towpack you took the key from? or did your customer take the key to go make a copy of it?
good luck
thanks

When on fieldwork in US I just had a car key (motels were mostly mag keys) so put it on a boot lace around my neck or attached it to my belt. Loosing the key half way up the Crescent Mountains in Washington would not have been, cougar country!!!

Keys in Removable Towbar
Hi all,
I had a different problem when I first got mine (Dec 04). After leaving the towbar and keys inplace (as recieved from dealer) for a couple of months, the key was very hard to move! Due to road salt etc I think. . But managed to get it loose with plenty of WD 40 . Now towbar lives in garage or back of D3 only going on when towing. (the key always stays in lock so I don't lose it )Disco 3 TDV6 S (Everyday and laning!)
Series 3 Ex-military Lightweight (Toy!!!)
Smart Roadster (commuting only!)
