Hi, I have one key for my Toyota Corolla (S-Reg) 1998/99.
The key itself has a big crack in it and although it is still operational, I need to get a replacement before it snaps in half!
I have spoken to my local Toyota dealer and they say 'because it is a sub-key, they need to replace the ignigtion barrel and get a new key programmed in.... oh and it will cost about £300!!!!!'
I find it difficult to believe that it'll cost that much money to just get a replacement key. I don't understand why I would need a replacement barrel.
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Are they right in what they say? Is there a cheaper alternative?
Thanks, Martin
