Get a spare cut, doesn't have to have the transponder chip in to start it, they cost pennies for a single spare key keep it tucked in somewhere safe for emergencies.

:lol: :lol: what a thread
so iv'e learnt...

1 ford locks are second rate (acording to the pro's)
2 NEVER concider buying BJT's van as with all the ass washing and the 'webasto' it will be rotten
3 lock picking tools look like they'd be better for wi fi

:roll:

Normally i would agree with you but the trouble is nowadays with the internet, there are no secrets and tools are easily available :shock:
I have got some Lishi picks too, Have had a play and opened quite a few different motors with them 8)
