New key for w reg transit

[tabscat]

Broke key trying to open fuel cap- the cap has been stiff for a while . Basically the metal shank came out of the black plastic body. C an I get a key cut at a locksmiths or will I have to go to ford? Since my van is alarmed(I think- the key handle has the little red square onit) what do I do about this? How much shuld I expect to pay?

Cheers

You can get a key cut and tape the other part of your old key under the steering column.Should only be bout a fiver.

you could always just pull the transponder out of the old key and put it into the new one

Where's the best place to get a spare key? one of my 2 keys is so worn it now won't open the fuel cap, the other key works perfect but don't want to wear it down, all the locks are fine i just don't want to wear down the only good key i have, the worn key works fine in the ignition, i don't mind carrying another key for the fuel cap

cheap as chips on ebay mate, think i paid £6 for mine with a transponder and gen ford

Any locksmith will sort you 1 for a fiver or less.Its only for the fuel cap after all

Got 2 keys for £10.50 from timpsons BUT they only did the blue chip ones not the red so I didn't get them chipped. Also my central locking doesn't seem to work woth my new keys even when holding my old chipped key fob with them.

[M3Stig]

central locking should work without the chipped key, its just the starting the chip is used for

Thats what I thought, M3stig , must be soething else causing the problem then - will investigate!
