Is your Defender a classic or an L663?

The classic Defender continued up to about 2016 and uses a simple key system. The L663 arrived around 2020 and belongs to the newest generation, for which we must confirm support by registration. Identifying that difference is more useful than describing the vehicle simply as a Defender, especially when you are requesting a replacement without a remaining key.

Our Land Rover manufacturer page puts those model differences in context. For your enquiry, provide the registration, approximate year and whether any key is still available. We will establish which service can be offered before arranging attendance. A straightforward description of the classic system should not be taken as a promise about the requirements of an L663.

Defender Spare Key Appointments

If you have one working key, a Defender spare key enquiry gives us the opportunity to check the vehicle before the need becomes urgent.

Confirm the work first

Our spare car key service begins with the vehicle details and the keys you already have. Defender key programming requirements are checked for the particular vehicle; we do not apply the classic model's description to every generation. For an L663, wait for confirmation of support before treating an appointment as agreed.

Prepare for a mobile visit

Your Defender spare key visit takes place where the vehicle is parked, including at home, work or a car park. Keep the V5C alongside your photo ID, as both are checked before a key is made. We have seven years of experience and work from 8am–11pm, seven days a week; there is no workshop visit to organise for an accepted mobile job.
