Just the reader?your keeping the original key/pats ECU that came with the van?
That case it will be fine but any other combination it won't work.
You can just swap the little sender unit within the key to a new key if you've snapped it in the ignition etc.
Double check it hasn't been bypassed first as I've had a few escort vans/diesels and they've all been bypassed!!
Just remove the ign switch from where the key goes in and turn it with a screwdriver etc and you'll soon tell if it works or not!!

Key reader around the lock makes no odds at all - That's a universal part across the board for the PATS system. It's the ECU (if fitted) and fuel pump that need changing with a key.
