I lost my car keys. I drive a 1998 rover 400. what should i do?

Answer 1

Any rover dealer should be able to obtain the KEY number for your car (Subject to the locks not having been replaced before)

When the car was new the key number and KEY ACCESS number should have been written down on the radio security code card.

You will need the KEY ACCESS number, as this will turn off the engine immobiliser. It is a 4 digit code.

Normally when you unlock the car with the remote blipper the immobiliser is automatically turned on or off. The key access number is carried out by firstly unlocking the drivers door then turning the key in the lock (for example if your code is 2345. You turn the key to the right (then the centre twice) Three times to the left, four times to the right, five times to the right.

It sounds quite complicated but the dealer will be able to confirm how to do it.
Just getting the key number and a replacement key will not be enough. You need to turn the immobiliser off.

Answer 2

Check your pockets of the clothes your were wearing, retrace your steps. Look just inside the door of the car on the floor.
Look on the passanger seat.

I feel you were thinking of other things, and that your keys are either in your car, or left in a pocket, or next to the bags you brought in.

*Call the dealer with the vin number, go and get your key, it cost between 50-75 dollars, but it's worth it.*

Have you looked everywhere for your key?
Have you had a 2nd person look for you?

Where do you usually toss your keys?
Did you come and sit down on the couch?
Look under the couch cushions.

Your key is not lost, it's temperarialy misplaced,
this is what works for me...........
it may sound crazy and even if you don't believe it, try it.
what have you got to lose?

Sit down and clear your head, tell yourself your keys are temporarialy misplaced. In your mind vision getting out of your car, turning it off, grabbing your stuff.......and retrace your steps.
Then pray and ask god (of your choosing) to help you keys to reappear so you can cleary see them. Take a stone, and place it in the west facing window ceil, (i really do this!) and tell the stone, that when the sun set on it tonight, in the morning it will have stored the information you need to find your keys.
In the morning, go hold the stone, and and sit, for about 3 mintues, and then put the stone where you would normally put your keys when you would come home usually.

I have done this many times, programmed a stone or rock to help me gather information. it works for me, and amazes my husband!

It can be any rock or stone. I like to use clear ones, but it's the act of trusting.....and asking for information.
It will intuitive come to you.

im me you will find your keys (i think in your car or near the washing machine?) in the next 37 hours.

Answer 3

It depends on the key type you have.
Contact your nearest main rover dealer and talk to one of them
Rover keep records of keys and if you can sufficiently prove ownership (by providing the VIN number) they MAY be able to arrange a spare set to be cut.
Failing that buy new locks and have them replaced (dont forget to include the ignition)
