When I got my scorp I only got one key. I have been led to believe that I need a red master key to get a new key cut...is this correct?
Thanks.

Later Scorpios didnt have the red key and had two black keys instead. From memory i'm pretty sure you need both to program a new one though.
Programming new keys
The system itself assumes that there are three keys programmed into PATS. One is a red key, the master, and two slave keys, which are black and will have a red dot. The red master key should be locked away in a safe place and only the black keys should be in daily use. If a key is lost, the red master key can be used to program a new key. The following sequence is noted in the vehicle handbook.
1. Obtain new key from main dealer ordered using the vehicle key number.
2. Insert red master key into ignition and turn to position II. When the red LED comes on switch off and remove the master key.
3. The LED goes off and then comes on for 2 seconds. PATS is now in programming mode for the next ten seconds.
4. Insert the new slave key. The LED will come on and go off to confirm that the key has been programmed. Switch off and remove the new key.
In the event that the red master key is lost, then a new one can be ordered using the vehicle key number. Be prepared to prove that you are the registered keeper of the vehicle because otherwise the main dealer should refuse. This master has to be programmed by a Main Dealer using WDS, which clears the PATS module memory and reassigns the new master. Once that is done, the old slave keys need to be reprogrammed as above.

Oh dear, seems like a lot of hassle... I have only got one key. Its black with no dots on.
So if i'm understanding correctly I will need to take the car to the main dealer in this case?

Has it not got a small cover on the base of the key? where the keyring goes through?

No looks like a regular key, Don't know what others may have, but it has a small phillips screw head in the middle. looks like you could split it in two pieces. I am reluctant to take it apart...Its the only key I have.
