I've gone and done something really stupid this time...

After a few too many on Saturday night, i've managed to lose my only key to my Supra.

Thankfully I have a spare key fob, so I can open the car. Does anyone know if there is a code hidden somewhere to have a key cut?

I took the lower dash panel off and it revealed a few numbers on a sticker on the bottom of the ignition, but apparently none of these numbers are relevent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the rest of my fleet is currently declared SORN , and I don't like walking to work.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound cheap to rectify

Toyota *may* be able to get you a key from your VIN number

Mike

My mate lost his key to his Range Rover.£175 for a new fob.

Go to your local Toyota dealer with vin code and he will sort it for you about £25 when i got a 2nd key after getting paranoid about only having the 1 key

If i remember it took about 5 days to deliver but worked straight away even on a 14 year old barrel

Could you not obtain a new ignition barrell and keys/locks? Not cheap but may be easier.

Now where did you see it last?

There's an excellent locksmiths in Denton, near Stockport, called Keyways, that will cut a key off say the glovebox lid lock. Speaking of glovebox lid locks, they often have the key code stamped into them, and are easy to get and remove on most cars, certainly easier than a door, boot or hatch lock. If you ask at the key office at any big car auction near you they'll know of a good lock smiths.

Toyota can get one from your VIN plate, about £20-30 IIRC.

Thanks alot guys, i'll get it sorted (hopefully) 1st thing in the morning.

Do yourself a favour - get a couple of spares cut too.

Get lashed up and retrace your steps Maybe you'll stumble across your keys

so do the keys have an imoboliser in them ?

Going to now see if my spare which i had cut starts the car

Yes it works fine so you should be able to use your spare and have another cut from that

No they don't. I think it's crazy to not keep a spare car key, especially for the supra where getting a spare cut is a job that Mr Minit can do for beer money.

Right, all sorted

I found that the easiest way to sort this out (without spending £140 + vat for a full set of locks from Mr T ) was to take the lock barrel from the boot to my locksmiths and have them cut a key. The codes on the lock barrels are not enough.

The morale of the story is to have a spare key. I now have 2 spares.

i think i will get a spare key cut in the morning i am glad you have it sorted out now
