Managed to loose my bloody car Key over xmas for my MK6 Escort Si, I have the red master key for it but don't fancy using that..

How much would a normal replacment key cost do yer reckon and also can my local keycutter do it or do they need to be done by Ford/Halfords

Thanks in advance

markc

take it to fords and they will get it cut and coded as u have an imobiliser on them

As Mark said, or if you go to a place like Timpsons or similar they can supply 3rd party pattern coded keys a lot cheaper

-fords charge about £12 to cut on a cossie(escort) you just put it in the ignition and turn key on /off and it progams it that way, should tell you how to in your hand book -your lucky you have the red master!!! i didnt i had to get on made of the ecu!!! £50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you in notts??-if so the place to take it is on westdale lane-they progam every thing!!-if you or anyone want details pm me or ask on forum

you should be able to make anykey with a red dot on the top work with the car you just need to set it with the red key

SafeChav

BUt any key won't turn the barrels lol

djmillsy

weve got a 3 door mk6 that opens and starts of keys from a mk5b escort

SafeChav

You know thats gettin robbed

djmillsy

there no petrol tank in it

SafeChav

Dont matter mate theyve been trying to rob my car and thats got no battery, no petrol, and an alarm/immobiliser

djmillsy

they rob anything these days

SafeChav

Try to

djmillsy

just looked at your car did you realy only pay 230 for it
Fuck me you STOLE it at that price

SafeChav

Yea, but there are words i would use to descrive it when i bought it, such as:

Shitter, piece of shit, nail, etc etc

Its still tatty as fuck now, but has come a long way, there wasn't a lot right with it when i got it and it wasn't turbo. Should be very tidy when im done with it

djmillsy

yeah but its still a mk3 cab tho there like hens teeth

SafeChav

True! Got a load of stuff with it, the actual figure i handed over was £650 but that was based on the car being £230 (what it was acquired for), if i worked it out after selling all the other stuff it cam with its probably even less than that
