$910 for a KEY ???

There’s no way that key should cost that much. I hope that’s not representative of replacement parts costs on the whole for this truck.

Well, I would submit that the admins should probably close this thread as we have ascertained that no one has actually ever lost a key. . I can’t wait to tell my wife this news.

My Lexus LX470 left me stranded one time in 23 years of ownership. It would not start. I had it towed to a Toyota dealership. They called within 30 minutes to come pick it up. I asked how they fixed it so fast. They said the key had worn out. They made a new key. I believe it was in the $300-$400 range.

Dealer just quoted me $910 for a replacement key. I randomly picked a couple of items to see how pricing would be. They quoted $2,000 for a set of steel wheels (for my winter studs) and $910 for a new key. I think they're trying to talk me out of my order.

This was never about keys - but rather the outrageous pricing. Maybe I should have "randomly selected" a passenger side mirror or a tail light. Was just trying to get a sampling of pricing.

That's not much when compared to the 2 headlights I just had replaced on my new 2020 Defender because the daytime
LED running light portion of the headlight assembly burned out.
Are you ready for this....$4,200 Each!
Thank god it was under warranty. There is a work around on this if it happens to you.
When the first one went out, everyone was pointing at me when I was driving around town during the daytime telling
me one of my headlights was out, when in fact it was just the LED daylight running portion of the headlight assembly
that was not working. I just should have waited for the second one to to out, (which it did later), and then no one would have
noticed that just one was out. I don't think daytime running lights are mandated by law yet, however just wait, someone
will mandate it eventually. Progress.....I don't think so......
Perhaps manufactures will simply have a separate LED strip that is replaceable in the future so it could easily be replaced
instead of the whole headlight assembly....and then again why would they if they can charge you $4,200 each.

Maybe common knowledge, and I apologize if it is, but do you only get one key vs two like most vehicles?

Hi guys, may I remind you that the spare parts for the only real defender cost nearly nothing compared to the prices for the so called New Defender and the Granadier. And furthermore you can get the old defenders repaired in most parts of the Western World! If there are no spare parts available, the broken parts can often be easily repaired.
A head lamp for my Defender, my 2015, costs less than 40 Euros, a whole set of locks with keys maybe 50 Euros, of course not from Land Rover, but the same quality!
Sadly is seems to be a very long and expensive way to solve most of the problems! We have to thank the now Grenadier owners very much, that they endure all the problems!
On the other hand, it`s great to see, that most of the Grenadier owners love their cars and have much fun with them!

The Key on the left is worth its weight in gold...I have posted this idea before but with a little more fine-tuning, by simply filling the edges and rounding off the entry taper on both sides of the key...it is as smooth as silk

Look around on forums for other vehicles. Dealership replacement keys are not cheap. I just had a quick poke around and saw estimates of $900 for an X5 and $1300 for a recent Disco.
