Yes, go to your nearest XPart agent armed with your V5 and order a new one, it will take around ten days, and cost you about £170 exc.

If its your only key that's gone missing turn the house upside down to try to find it. Getting a key through XPart might not seem cheap but the only other option is a major undertaking. There is a thread about one Russ did recently, apparently took about 16 hours. These are the "highlights" from that thread.
If the car has been locked with the remote the doors will not open from the inside even after a window has been smashed to gain entry. The driver's door card has to be removed to open the door. From a donor car you need the driver's door lock (boot lock as well if a mk1), steering column with ignition barrel, there is a built in weak point in the steering lock to prevent drilling the ignition barrel out. Once all that is done then considerable T4 reprogramming has to be done.

I once came out of a friends house, unlocked my car and started to drive off as I heard shouting. I had got in the wrong car. Mine was about three doors down!!! (Austin A35 in light blue)

On that same lighter note, one of our 75 keys had been lost for several months and both me and the missus blamed each other.

One day I found it, Inside one of my jacket pockets so not to be beaten I said to the missus I’ve found the key, Oh! Where did you find it, Down the back of one of the units in the lounge, I said. Oh! Are you sure ? Of course I’ve sure.

Your a liar because you found them in your black jacket pocket because I put them there just last week.

The missus had found them in one of her handbags so to switch blame she planked them in my jacket pocket.

You cannot beat a good woman. !

A quick fix to enable access to you car is get another old or second hand Rover 75 key or similar landrover key, get the coding on the circuit board, program the key into tgdcar using the TOAF program or a T4.
That way you will be able to get entry to into the car but it won’t start it.
Ive done that using keys I gave for sone of my other Rovers.

Would TOAF not need to be plugged into the car (via OBD port) for this to work? Cant do that if locked out of it without breaking glass (now there's a great album lol).

It would allow you to change the locks etc though after replacing the glass of course.
