Lost Key - Van in France

[captain hook]

The reason the French can't help is French Transits don't have PATS

At least the 3 I had didn't..........

I can re-program your new key but....

I'm in Essex!

If you start to remove all the "Plastic" from your pump

you will soon see how to live-up the stop valve!

I'm near Limoges in France and have been into Fords there. They seem helpful enough but French spares shops and dealerships really do like to see the log book when getting parts in on order.

my mate lost his key some time ago,,so he took the imobiliser box out of the dash behind the glove box and his mate wiped it out and you no longer needed the chip in the key .. dunno how he did it tho.is this doable??

[matt98]

p.s and it was for an turbo diesel ..but that was on a 96 plate??

Could you not get the van recovered from france back to the UK by AA or RAC etc then sort it out from there?

that is impossible on a turbo diesel with EPIC

Hi,
I appreciate your comments so far and your reluctance to discuss such items on an open forum, however I am now at the point where I scrap the van if I can't get any help.
How can I tell if I've got the early system or pats2? Would you be willing to explain in a pm what I need to do. I don't want to remove or kill the pats system, just bypass it temporarily so I can get the van to a uk dealer to have the new key programmed.

how old is it

If you have plastic cover its early pats, if its metal its PATS 2, either way remove the cover, find the stop solenoid, rest should explain itself
