07 plate transit key
So today i ive had a headache with one of the vans , put the key in and you have to hold it on the third click to keep the van running or it just cuts out. S oi take it i need a new key (its really worn) and ignition barrell. How much am i looking at if i take it to fords tomorrow and how long do they need the van for??
Dave I HATE new fords.............. |
Barrell is £35, the read your key and make it there and than to suit. Then fit it yourself.
|
and what they charge you for the key?
|
no dealers around here make locks to keys anymore
|
You can get a new blade for about £3.
I had to do the same for my Focus as it was well past it! |

You're still gonna have to get the key coded though so there's an hours labour
My Focus was my Mums for 8 years whos a district nurse. The key and ignition barrel were destroyed. Got a new blade for my key and a new ignition barrell for less than £40! |
Depends if its a remote key or not though, if it is then like you say, just change the blade, if its a normal key it will need to be coded. Unless you can dig the chip out of the key and swap it lol

If it's the blue key, it costs £135 inc vat for a complete coded and cut remote key. Glad we don't have to pay, leased vans, and they want the van all day. And you can't change the blade on a genuine Ford key, the fob is glued together, battery is not replaceable it's recharged whilst in the igniton. That's without the cost of the barrel and fitting. . |
Its the blue key . ive even tried using the spare (just a plane black ford key) and the van still cuts out while on the move if the key even moves slightly.So im looking at £30 barrell £135 key and a days labour??
|
Are you sure its the barrel and not the ignition switch.
|
Yes mate its the barrell and key, just called fords and they want £279.85 and need the van for a day even though they said it takes 1 hour :wall:

Last time I tried to use a Ford Rapid fit centre, not Kwikfit, they still wanted to book it in. |
If it's the blue key you can remove the black section at the bottom (the Blade) and replace it for around £3. You can take them apart as I did on a hire van a few weeks ago :lol:
