Not So Merry Christmas for my LWB... - Page 2 - Land Rovers Only

The key broke off inside the rear hatch lock.. Just the tip, as my key is cut in a special way as it is big at the end then cut down alot just after that... which is probably good to keep thieves out, but bad on breaking keys.. I have been using an Ilco RV4-P which is a nice key.. Its longer handle make getting it in and out of that tight area much easier.. Anyway I guess Ill take it to a lock smith, as Putting a super magnet on a small screwdriver and trying to pull it out that way will never work.. Keys are brass, and are not attracted to magnets.... Uhhhggg...
