try your local auto locksmith the ignition ones the hassle, the doors may open with any key tip

If you take a door lock out it may have the key number engraved on it and you can get a key cut from the number. If it is still the original ignition key then you should be able to order another from Ford with the chassis number, otherwise get to your local scrapyard and get a couple of handfulls of the right style ford iginition keys - chances are one will fit

Where are you? I have a MASSIVE ring of keys (door and ignition) and at least 10 sets of current keys, so one might fit. You can't keep em but could get em cut.....

Hi Fred, I am around Uxbridge way and regularly Reading way or sometimes Oxford way. Would be so grateful if you were able to help

I am not too far from uxbridge and have 2 full sets of keys on me, plus another ignition key if it helps.
