[Mk2] [Turbo] HELP boot wont open

[LuizeGT]

mate went to open boot using th key instead of using the normal lever thingy. the yey turned 45 degrees and then nothing, it wont open lever or key now and the key will not turn at all.

shes got her kiddies clothes and buggie in there. how do we get it open

[Vindezal]

i know the lock barrel twists around if u do it the wrong way but to the right it works!

wd40?

[LuizeGT]

PMSL!

cant get the key to move any direction now, it just sorta clicked and thats it. tried, WD40, plus gas and a heavy dose of anger but nothing

[Quigonjay]

nothing happen when you pull the lever?

[3sgte]

i think you need the master key (slightly longer?) as i think you have deadlocked it

[-:[KM]:-]

Sound like a deadlock.... turning key to left does it

Lots of giggling and slight in-and-out action <and patience>!!!!

Make sure you use the same key that locked it.

[LuizeGT]

LOL yes i think it was turned left.
car was bought just under 2 weeks ago and only had 1 key, it says toyota on it but unsure if its master key. lots of playing and i still cant get it to unlock

theres a code on the key, do you think i could order a master with this code?
lever does nothing, you can hear it moving the cable when stood near the bootlid but doesnt unlock it

Sounds like it is deadlocked - Get plenty of penetrating oil / GT-85 / 3 in 1 or similar into the lock, and patiently try to work the key around to unlock it - it should go eventually.

The other options aren't good.

Best case is to remove the key barrel from one of the doors, and try to get a brand new master key cut by Toyota using the four digit number on the barrel - the numbering of UK / JDM barrels should be the same, but may not be ..

Next up would be a locksmith,

Very worst case - a cold chisel ( http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Tool-Shop/ ... old-Chisel ) and a large lump hammer but you're going to do a lot of damage to body panels

Worst case? Worst case would be cutting a hole in the rear bumper behind one of the wheels, unscrewing the vent and reaching all the way into the boot to release the mechanism! Fortunately when I removed the lock from my boot and then closed it I didn't have the rear bumper on my car...

[LuizeGT]

aaaaahhhhhhhhh the vent! that could be an idea.

nothing else worked so far got a large drill bit ready if al fails lol

Blummin'eck.. you still not got it done yet!!?? Bet your mate if fed up with carrying that kid of hers!!

I'll be going through Stoke on Sunday @ 5ish if that's any help. I'll give it a damn good wiggling...... THE LOCK, you lot...


Done a couple now, there's a knack to it. (LOCKS!!!)

Let me know if you're not too far away, I don't mind a small detour... it'll keep me out the pub..

[Hellboy]

you must use the master key to open the boot.

a cut key will not work on my car , if its dead locked or just locked.
