    Lost one key from a Toyota car yesterday in Limeirck City.

    Have tried Henry st. Garda station in case someone handed it in but no luck.

    Hoping someone here might be of assistance.

    I know that pain, luckily I had a spare. Have you tried all the shops you were in too?

    Have been to most places I was in yesterday to no avail.

    I'm told that if I give the Chassis and/or VIN number to a local locksmith they'll cut a key for about €20. Hope that's true. Otherwise i'm off to the Toyota dealers.

    What year is your car? What kind of Key is it?

    Otherwise you can go to a Garage and get a dummy key which will open the door(manually) and start the engine but will not unlock doors/boot etc.

    This key will have to be coded to the car. Its not a big job but the Garage will fleece you.

    The pain of having a spare key to reach for?

    - Love the way FF can still empathise and feel the common Mans pain - See you on December 9th for Budget day.....

    OP Thats a real pain - yellow pages and be thorough - Def avoid O'Mearas - Any Dealer will try and pay Decembers wages from your wallet on this one......

    I think it was an attack on ninety9er because of his affiliation to Fianna Fail. Not the popularist choice around right now.
