About Toyota ignitions
Toyota's current Proace range is built alongside related Peugeot, Citroën and Fiat models, while the Hiace has a long history of its own. The ignition setup therefore varies considerably between a Hiace and a Proace.
Older Hiace vans are often kept running for many years, and wear on keys and barrels builds up over time. For any Toyota van, the registration and a description of the fault let us confirm what is needed.
Ignition options for Toyota vans
- Mechanical ignition barrel repair or replacement — For vans with a key-turn ignition where the barrel is worn, sticking, seized or damaged.
- Electrical ignition switch replacement — The switch behind the barrel can fail on its own — the key turns but the electrical side does not respond properly.
- Electronic ignition (EIS) work — For vans that use an electronic ignition unit rather than a purely mechanical barrel, including some push-button systems.
- Broken key extraction from the ignition — Removing a snapped blade from the ignition without causing further damage, before a new key is made.
Whether your original key can be kept depends on the van and the fault — we try to keep it wherever possible. If a new key or programming is needed, we will tell you before starting.

Toyota ignition questions
My old Hiace key is hard to turn — can the barrel be repaired?
Depending on the condition, repair may be possible; in other cases replacement is the better option. We assess it before recommending either.
Is a Proace ignition the same as an Expert?
They are closely related, but we confirm the specific van from the registration rather than assume parts match.
