How do I stop the alarm going off on my Toyota Avensis?

Help, I can’t stop the alarm going off on my Toyota Avensis. I dropped the keys and the buttons stopped working, so I tried the key in the door and the alarm started going off. I now can’t drive the car because the alarm goes off whenever I open the door. What should I do?

You need to get a new key.

Try a branch of Timpsons in the High Street,
side street or in a Shopping
Mall.

No joy there, links to keys and locksmiths in
this directory:

The first two on the list apparently give very
good, very fast and very
cheap service.
