    Would a Metal Detector find a key? Wasn't there somebody on here before that lent their Metal Detector to someone else?! I can't remember what the outcome was...

    If you have one of the keys that came with car you can get a copy of that cut. I've got it done in Collerans before for about 50 quid. That'll be a lot cheaper than going to a dealer and getting new key.

    It was the only key unfortunately. The key is worth more than the car is to be honest. If I can get the code I can get it cut otherwise ill get it off the dealer. Its my only option really at this stage

    Could have been any part of it but I reckon it was around the sports hall. I got a new key this morning anway. Got the code off flemmings and got it made by collerans. Thanks for the offer, itll probably show up now I have a new one

    This reminds I don't have a spare-key for my Car. The Garage doesn't have it. I must get onto them again.

    All in all a 150 quid mistake, could have been worse I suppose. The guy in Collerans was telling me the new Toyota keys cost 1200 from the dealer:eek:. and one guy lost his over the weekend. Anyway thanks for all the suggestions and help guys, much appreciated.
