  • Urgent - Gen2 lost key!

    Not sure whether it's just me being a bumberclut or the fact that I have a 2.5 year old who likes to help and pick things up and then tuck them into an inexplicable location (like into shoes or toys) but....

    Somewhere whilst cleaning the Hilux on Monday night I have lost the key. Fortunately it's unlocked and I live in a nice, secure space, so the fact the back door is still unlocked 24/7 isn't an immediate concern.

    Can anyone suggest what the best solution is? Obviously there are 4 'locks' to consider - Ignition barrel, front doors and boot. Is there a one-stop replacement set I can buy?! Will toyota have some way of providing a copy based on any other information I can give them? They're the original locks to the car.

    I have changed ignition barrels on much cleverer cars, so it doesn't daunt me. My biggest issue is that I'm a single dad who needs space for two car seats on Saturday and my other car doesn't befit 2 child seats!!

    Any ideas!?

    Thanks

    i went to toyota to ask for a barrel for glove box to match the rest of the keys and they say they cant do it because its a jap import and they don't keep records for it. but i can get a full kit as a replacement for a 4 runner that is 4 barrels and a set of keys for it, and it wont take too long to order it and arrive,
    hope this helps
    or find a scrapyard who's got them all and the keys and post them straight away

      hi

      There is a set on ebay for £70 from a scrapped KZN130, so I'm inclined to buy that. The only thing stopping me is that it only appears to have one key. If I'm going to go to the trouble, I'd like to end up with a spare or two!! Are the standard keys easy to get copied by a regular key smith? They don't look anything special (especially circa 1994!)

      I'll pm you!

      Thanks
