Try here for a " New " red key and spare http://www.home-own.co.uk/ala/ ussually cheaper that FMD and quite good service.

to get the "T" code see here http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/doorlockbld.htm

thanks snoopy! so the so called code will be T then a six digit code corresponding to the cuts on the key?

I presume so, but the lock smith people will know all that. I have used my local guy and he comes out to the house and does it there.

That URL Snoopy quoted above pretty much tells you how to read the keycode. Just a little amplification offered. There is *always* at least one 4 cut on the key. Find that and it helps to judge whether the others are 2's or 3's. (1 is obvious - it isn't cut at all.)
Once you've got the keys, they need to be programmed to the car, and as you haven't got the RED master key, that means finding someone with an RDS, WDS, PDS or other diagnostic tool.
Your dealer can do it (That'll cost you) Your friendly neighbourhood auto locksmith can sometimes do it (that'll cost less) Or, if you're very lucky and live anywhere near Luton, I'll do it for you (and that'll cost you nuthin')
If you want me to cut the keys for you as well, that'll cost you the price I pay for the blanks (Currently £12 each).

e-mail sent dno, by the way, I got the prices wrong. I'm paying £6 for the key blanks (£8 for Red Master blanks)
