It only happened to me once on my MY2012. I just exerted a little force via a tug, and it came out ok. Foraging near Gaydon....

2013 Freelander 2 TD4_e GS Auto Sumatra Black

Mine did something similar yester day. Popped in the fob, clutch in hit start and car wouldn't start, I heard some quiet noise behind dash. Thought clutch wasn't far in so hit start again, nothing but for a faint "whoosh" noise behind dash. Tried to eject fob and it wouldn't eject. Hit start again and nothing. Then tried fob again and it popped out no problem. I put the fob back in and car started no problem. Strange stuff, hope it isn't a sign?

Applying a little force only causes the key blade to come out!

I can partly eject it a few mm but it will not come out any further! Currently leaving it partly ejected but taking the key blade with me!!

Help!!!! Black FL2

If you have any tools with you perhaps remove the battery positive lead to reset
