How do I hot wire ignition?

My land rover was stolen... by "friends" nonetheless... they removed the linkage and towed it on a flat bed tow truck... I just got it back and since I'm in another state and everything I owned was in it when they took it I have no way to pay for a key or anything else... It looks like they tried to break the ignition it is hanging down already so I just want to know how I can get it started so that I can get home to California... any help would be greatly appreciated.

So u stole a Land Rover? Good luck. Some of them have immobilizer circuits. If you have money for gas you can call land rover dealer and get it fixed with insurance. Or not.

94 range rover.... getting gas but won't start

Step 1- Check for trouble codes that may point to the failed componant. If you don't have a code reader, there are certain ignition parts that you can remove from the vehicle and take to a parts store and have tested. And the process begins. Honestly there is long list of possible items and unless you're mechanically inclined with diagnostic capabilities you could spend a lot of time and effort running coils and modules to the store to be tested. I presume you are doing proper maintenace at the recommended intervals re plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor etc. I think you might be better served to get it towed to a trusted mechanic.

Why wont ignition make contact 1998 range rover hse

Sounds like the ingnition switch or cylinder lock. Was the truck stolen?

If they removed the ignition switch off the back of the cylinder lock then that may be your problem, that may be the reason why you do not get the spring action at the end turn of the key. look at the rear of cylinder lock and see if switch is removed.The other problem may be the cylinder lock may be broken, remove the cylinder lock and see if the arm that turns the switch is broken.that would also cause the problem you are having,
Let me know the results. good day

I have a discovery 2 TD5 automatic and I want to change the engine for a faster more economical diesel motor. What do you recommend. I often tow an off road trailer and have a roof rack with a roof top ten...

I wouldnt recomend it for 2 reasons,
first,changing from gas to diesel or diesel to gas is a very difficult because of ecm,s and wireing harnesses.
second, the land rover has one of the best tow drive packages there is, hard to improve on,
If you need more power and economy perhaps an upgrade to a larger tow vehicle
