Spare keys, all-keys-lost and module work for the Land Rover Defender — classic Defender (300Tdi, Td5, Puma) and the new L663 Defender 90, 110 and 130. Mobile across London & the South-East. Dealer-grade equipment, independent prices.
The Defender comes in two utterly different generations. The classic (pre-2016) is simple mechanical with a transponder. The new L663 (2020+) is one of the most advanced UWB-based key systems Jaguar Land Rover has ever fitted. We handle both.
300Tdi, Td5 and Puma (2.2/2.4 TDCi) Defenders. Simpler immobiliser system based on EKA/transponder chips. Spare keys and all-keys-lost both quick on the driveway. We cut and code the blade too — full key supply.
EKA · transponder · blade-cutThe current Defender. UWB smart key system, RFA module, dealer-server-aligned cryptographic security. Most complex JLR key platform there is — but fully covered with our dealer-grade kit. Spare keys 75-100 minutes typical.
L663 · UWB · RFANew Defender all-keys-lost is more involved than older platforms because of UWB. We perform the manufacturer-spec procedure — confirm we can do it from your registration before we travel. Most cases done driveway in 2-3 hours.
Case-by-case · confirmedThe new 8-seat 130 uses the same L663 key platform as the 90 and 110. Programming procedure is identical. Same prices, same turnaround. P425 V8 also covered.
8-seat · V8 · all enginesPre-Puma Defenders often need a fresh blade cut from the keycode in the V5C or door lock. We cut to manufacturer-spec on the driveway, programme the transponder, and verify start. One visit, one fixed price.
Mobile blade-cutDefender Hard Top (commercial), County Special Edition, Adventure Edition, and trade rebuilds — all covered. Trade rates for repeat business. Same-day turnaround in most cases.
Commercial & tradeClassic Defender and new L663 are two totally different jobs. We identify your generation, then follow the right procedure — no shortcuts, no risk to the security system on either platform.
Classic Defender (square-shaped, separate chassis, pre-2016) vs new L663 (curved styling, monocoque, 2020+). Each follows a totally different key procedure. We confirm before bringing the right fob and equipment.
Classic: read transponder chip and immobiliser state. L663: read the RFA module and confirm UWB key counts. We never make assumptions — every job starts with a proper read.
New key is programmed (and for classic Defenders, blade-cut to match), paired to the car, and verified by starting the engine and locking the doors. You see it all working before we leave.
Mobile key programming covers most modern marques and immobiliser systems. These are the makes we programme keys for most often:

Lost my only Td5 Defender key on a farm — couldn't even start it. DashTech came out the same afternoon, blade-cut a fresh key and programmed it. £250 all-in. Saved the harvest!
Bought a 2021 new Defender 110 — only one key with it. Wanted a spare ASAP. £420, 90 minutes, on the driveway. Land Rover wanted £720 and 3 weeks. Easy choice.
Cat N L663 Defender rebuild — keys hadn't come with the salvage. Two locksmiths said no. DashTech sorted full all-keys-lost on the new Defender — 2.5 hours including UWB pairing. Brilliant.
