Default Replacement Ford Fiesta Remote Key

Brought a fiesta with only one key, the guy said it just needed a new battery so it can be re-programmed for the remote function to work (central locking works i just want to be able to use it remotely)
Yesterday Ford quoted me nearly £200 (£88 for a new key as the one i have is no good and £95 to code it)
I was also hoping to get a second key done as a spare (not at those prices)
Does anyone know of anywhere (i'm in Kent) that i can go to or will come to me to do some keys (without the need for my to sell my kidneys to pay for them)
Ta muchly

You can program the remote yourself.

Radio Frequency Programming Instructions:
  • Insert the ignition key and turn from position II (Ignition) to position 0 (All off) and back four times within three seconds.
  • Remove the ignition key. The locking control system is now in "learn mode" for the next 20 seconds and the red warning system LED (By the clock) stays on continuously to indicate this.
  • During the 20 seconds press one of the transmitter buttons. The remotes signal and code number is learned by the locking module and is indicated by flashing the warning system LED.
  • Wait until learn mode times out (20 seconds) or switch the ignition back to ON.

Brendan - sorry, yes that would be helpful, its a 2005 (55 plate) 1.25 style
Richie ST - I was told by Ford it couldn't be re-programmed (apparently there is no signal being generated (?) by the key even when they put a new battery in) happy to give it a go myself but just didn't want to bugger up my only way of starting
