the will be fitting the ECU at lexus at stoke thats where it is at the moment. the key has been built to my original key no so my car still only needs the 1 key to open the doors and start the engine (manually) thanks for the reminder though wouldn't want the cars resale value affected by shody work.
The reaon they drilled the barrel out was because the barrel wouldn't turn to a point to allow the pin to be pushed down.
