there will be a chip in the key to act as an immobiliser if i am correct.

you can reprgram other keys to the same code too.

are you intending to replace the ignition barrel and all door locks?

keep them in case your old/lost key turns up

Have a look at this site m8 they may be able to help.

Phone Ford Parts. They should be able to get u a replacement based on the Number plate or VIN.

I think the normal key has a blue cap on the top, but you'll need your spare with the red cap to get one made IIRC

what transit is it for yr

if it had the chip in u have to either have the master key which has a red top (plastic) then get a key made and u will have to get the chip programed by fords
if u dont have the master key it will workl out expansive the can make a key to fitt ur barrels but u would have to have the computer reprogramed to a new chip

that works for the remote control but not for the chip that has to be programmed

Its a 2004 model

I want to completely have a new key or code that works for the van so the old keys do not work anymore.

have you looked at your insurance details?

can you say you had keys stolen from jacket in pub or something and get insurance to fit new locks

Not a gpod idea unless you have a plan worked out in the first place.

i.e. they will ask you to follow your tracks over the phone, where was the last time you had them, saw them, felt them etc, etc.

If it does not fall under thier insurance policy within your agreement then you have lost..!!

Strange but true.

u dont get ecu programmed its the central locking / imob module which either needs to be read and new key coded or new code and key

dont go direct to ford 4 coding as they will rip u

go for someone who specalises in imobs and keys u could save loads

ford quoted me £170 for new key and coded

a local guy did it for £60 inc new key
