as the title says daughter brought the car with only one key
i think its not the main key ,this one is bent and due to split out of the holder

wear could we get a replacement  fords or any key cutter  any help would be great

You should be able to get a replacment key at a high street key cutter, got one for my mum a few months back about £10 i think. some can do key with chip in or you can break of the old key tab and stick it under the cover by the ignition behind the steering wheel so car will still start.

Go to any decent locksmith and get a couple cut for about £8 each then cable tie bent one to the ignition barrel. Save's you getting them programmed

That's what I did on my mom's old Fester when she bent hers.

S reg was the cut-off year when Ford did away with the "red" key malarky.

Look at your "black" key and tell me what colour chip it has (red or blue).

And if your car gets nicked, consider your insurance void at that point!

[Del Boy]

Which I think means it should have a red key, my Scorpio had 2 red chips in 2 of the keys other key was red.

[KillerWatt]
