    Plenty locksmiths around, give one a ring and make sure you got some form of ID.

    If the car has an immobiliser expect to wait upto a month for a new key!!!
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! I know someone who was in the same pickle as you and it took 4weeks for Mercedes to send a new key!
    Toyota might be different tho but i doubt it!

    I don't think you can order the keys for JDM Toyotas using a chassis number, also being JDM it's unlikely to have a factory immobiliser. you could contact MDS about getting a new alarm fob though. I'd say you'd have to get a replacement lock set.

    Can you please tell in more detail, what did your uncle do? Did he go to dealer and ordered the key? And how is that cost?

    You could try 'the lock hospital' they can duplicate car keys with manufacturers codes. They are in Dublin 8.

    The levin definitely wont have a factory immobilizer as standard it wouldn't even have had an alarm as standard.

    What clifford alarm is on it?

    Please if you do not know what you are talking about please do not post crap.

    Call a LOCKSMITH who will gain professional entry to car.He will then remove door lock and from this he will make key that will open door and operate ignition.
    Alarm/after market immobilizer will have to be disarmed alot of locksmiths can do this if they cannot they will call out an auto electrician.
    Job done pay the man.:P
