First port of call will be your Ford Main Dealer.
Not 100% on this but from the chassis number they should be able to order the correct key for your car.

Chasssis number is visible through the front windscreen or under the plate in the carpet by the drivers seat or on the plate on the front cross member where the bonnet lock is situated

Should also have congratulated your daughter on her choice of car ( 2.3 estate )...but then I am slightly biased

hi scorpio-mike,well her scorpio ultima saloon has been scrapped due to a fool going into the rear side door last friday....so she wanted another...and we found one in colchester..not far from us....its a 2.3 p reg estate..in very good condition....just a few small things to set right..air bag light stays on.....and the abs light dont light up at all..and the a/c needs a regas..and thats about it,i drove it home from colchester..and its great...so thank you for your comments...if you have any ideas regarding the air bag light staying on and the abs light not coming on at all....i would be most grateful..could be just the bulb of course for the abs...im having a look at the clockspring unit soon...i supose we could swap over the parts from the scrap ultima,as the air bag light went out as it should...thanks very much..regards den.

I reckon the ABS light may be an LED,for reasons unknown they are sometimes deliberately disabled in false hope of getting past the MOT tester with a duff system.

hi gozz,
yes i understand what your saying....strange but i thought the abs light had to be on at the turn of the ignition key and then go off.....to show the system is working??....tester must have poor eye sight... ...thank for your thoughts mate.regards den...ps i will find out for sure over the next few days what the cause is.

yes Bizzay 1 is a very helpful chap,and he is very kindly forwarding a spare key to me so i can give it to my daughter...and my daughter is going to make a donation to this site...yes cheekyboy 2 your right...if it was my car thats most likely what i would do...ha..ha..but as its my 25 year old daughters car..and if she gets a flat tyre coming home from work at 10.30 pm...she may well find it near impossible to get the wheel nut cover off..then my phone would ring....and dad would have to go out to the rescue....ha..ha...so thanks to Bizzay 1..that wont happen...thank you to all members that helped in this matter....kind regards den and daughter.
