I'm miles away from home, I've locked the keys under the bonnet and I need the key to pop the bonnet open, im here with passionford on my phone and thats it, take the piss all you want any ideas??

 

 

oh dear

Enlist the help of the people pointing and laughing at you, and try rocking the car from side to side?

Get a jack from somewhere, jack it up, and see if you can reach up from underneath?

 

The only tools you have to get inside your car is your phone and passionford, good luck

 

You can open your car with any Ford Focus key. This is a fact. Find a friend with a Ford Focus Key and you are in. Infact, can you open the bonet once in the car?

I think not? Benni.

 

theres thousands of tools on passionford. one of thems bound to work.

 

isnt it a case that any key will lock the door but only the right key opens it?

 

yeah sounds about right

 

thats why i like old cars!

non of this key stuff! good old coat hangers

 

Amazingly not on the old Ford Focus.

Benni.

 

I'm sure if that was true, it would be a bit more of a 'well known fact'

 

No it isn't, you tool

You can lock any ford with any ford key, but only your key will open your car. If benni is right, then I best go get mine in the garage

 

It is true. I assure you of it.

Benni.

 

You are wrong. I am not going to argue with you because I am right. It's a fact which is not very well known.

 

benni, back to the muppet room

 

gimme 2 mins, i'll just go over the road see if i can open my neighbour's focus with my focus key....

 

Would you like to put a little wager on this? I am so sure I will bet you anything you want, anything.

You will eat your words, and so will anyone else who disagrees with me.

Benni.

 

First of all, let me give you detailed instructions on how to do it. Then you will eat your words. Is that fair?

Benni.

 

Call the AA or RAC you'd be suprised at the tricks some of them have to get into your car rather easily in situations such as this

Failing that ask someone for a flat headed screwdriver bang it in the bonnet lock & twist but make sure no-one see's you doing it as they may think your stealing the car

 

go for it

I take it its not just straight into the lock in the door then?

 

I know on the prefacelift mk1 you can get access into the boot through the wiring that is behind the 3rd brake light. However, this won't help you get into the bonnet to retreive your keys!

 

I am not wrong, I assure you of it. How do you think the Tezza off the FFOC got into Peterdee's car at FITP? I am not 100% Sure so I have text my brother and once he replies I shall PM you.

But believe me, I will make you eat your words.

Benni.

 

wish i had known this a while ago . my birds kid opened the boot on her focus with the remote , left the keys in the boot and then shut the boot , all the dorrs are still locked . then the AA bloke couldnt get in and we had to smash the rear passenger window to get in ! nice !

 

I know there were only 32 different cuts of key for the original focus's or something stupid like that. But EVERY single focus key in the world doesnt open every focus in the world

 

Then 5 mins later.......


This isn't sounding good benni.....

I sit here with baited breath!!!

 

Locked my keys in the boot once an the AA guy played with some wiring underneath the car and was able to get power to the leccy windows opened them, climbed through and got the keys out by folding down the rear seats.

 

Look at this reply on a Focus Forum Rich.


Do you still think you are right?

Benni.

 

I meant I am not 100% Sure how you go about it. I am 100% Sure it will work if done correctly.

Benni.

 

spit it out then Benni

 

ok benni, well i shall wait for your reply!

 

I am not going to say so until I am told by my brother I am telling you correctly. Once I am sure I know how it is done I shall PM him and he can go and check for himself. But I assure you it will work.

If I am wrong, I shall leave this forum forever.

Benni.

 

Im glad he didnt want to get back into his car in a hurry

Come on Benni, there are 15 people viewing this awaiting your reply. Even im putting off going to work

 

there are only so mant combinations on keys

it is reckoned 1 in 10 cars have the same key its just the chip in the key that stops people driving off in other cars (same make of corse ie ford , renault, shitron)

 

in that case benni, i do hope you are wrong

 

its not the brick through the window option is it?

 

You'll be wating a while I'm afriad. My brother changes his number far too often. At worst you will have to wait until he comes in tonight to collect his work clothes.

But I know I am right, and Richard will eat his words.

Benni.

 

not to get under the bonnet it isnt lol

 

No. You use the Key and you cause no damage, it takes about 15 seconds.

Benni.

 

all of that type of ford key will lock all other ford locks but not unlock them unless you are really lucky & the key you try is the same cut

 

How about get a friend to get the spare key from your house and bring it to you? Logic is a wonderfull thing
