New set of car keys
Hi all,
I'm looking to sell my car in the near future, problem is I can't find the spare key, and the main one is missing a piece of plastic, and the remote doesn't work (although that could just be the battery!). The car is a 2000 model Ford Focus.
Ideally I'd like to get a new set of keys before I sell it, however Ford are charging silly money, and I was wondering if there is anywhere it can be done cheaper.

Places like timpsons can sometimes cut them for between £35 and £50 but it depends on the type of key and encoding and the like0 -
Ford will charge about 90 quid for a new remote key, complete with blade and chip...0
