Key and fob stolen

Somebody has stolen the key and fob for my 97 24v Cosworth. My problem is if I change the locks they could still open it with the fob. Any suggestions please

I was messing about with two remotes and two cars last week - I may be wrong but if you program another remote it will ignore the one that is stolen as the frequency will change!

That's not entirely true. The remote will still unlock the car once the battery is back on.
I think Dave's idea of programming another remote to the car is the way forward.
As he states, the code will change and the old one will then be no use.

Thanks everybody for your help. Your advice has been useful. I have a spare key fob and will try the suggestion of reprogramming it. I hope it works! The only thing is I won't be able to test whether the old one still works.
I was wondering whether the radio signal from the fob could be switched off in the car so only the keys would work if I changed the locks on the doors.

hi there
once you enter/exit the reprogramme mode, only the fob (or none at all) you program will be stored. all other ones will be lost.
