It's getting the right immobiliser code that's the tricky part.Ah, the good old days when I was first driving my trusty old Escort - if you ever locked your keys inside, just approach the nearest fellow-Escorter in the car park and ask to borrow their key :-)
My Saxo they didn’t even bother unlocking when I parked in the wrong place and just bounced it 100m down the car park1 -
Well, thank you for your help on this.
The clever man with the key skills has just left with £180 of my husband's money. But at least he has a working key
Of course, the original key will turn up first thing tomorrow, right8 -
It has been known for people to take the chip out of their only key and glue it inside the cowl. That way they can get as many keys cut for it as they like for a £10 a go.1

Years ago my partner and I had a Mini and a Cortina and both sets of keys fit both cars!!!
