At some point in it's past the iS seems to have attracted unwanted attention and had to get the passenger door and boot locks replaced.
So it now has 3 keys, one for the drivers door and ignition, one for the boot and one for the passenger door.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the passenger door and boot locks changed so they work off the drivers door key or is it easier just to get a new lock set?
Thanks
John

It's certainly possible - a matter of re-buliding the tumblers in each barrel to match the key you want to use. Quite time consuming.

I'd suggest changing the lockset as an easier option, though, and would be happy to sell you one :)
