Lexus RX300 - Ignition Barrel and Key Replace - stuart456

Hi

Looking for parts and advice please

Rx300 Key stuck in acc position will not move ,I had this a few years ago problem not that uncommon to Lexus after reading up ,I eventually managed that time to get going, but not this time

I stripped it down to aluminum housing and had to remove the Key Barrel (there is a poppet release pin that while holding in the acc key position you can pull barrel out)

My questions are where can I get new key and barrel ,does it have to be programmed or is just a mechanical part, and so can I use second hand bits.

Details of car Lexus rx300 Yer 2001


Any help you be most great full, have done some damage to old barrel as it was suck not exactly in the acc position (which is needed to get old barrel out)

Many thanks Stuart
