Just contact any auto locksmith or any local locksmith near you that also does car keys, for a car like that its not going to be a problem for them to cut you a second key.

You may have a couple of choices, you can usually just have a key that opens the door in an emergency, or you will have an option for a second key with the full remote buttons if thats an option on your current key?

I use a local locksmith for trade work several times a month and they for example do secondary keys for about £60 up to £100 for newer tecchy fobs. The last one I sorted for a customer was a secondary key for a VW T5 to replace a fob and key that had fallen apart over the years and it was £60 off the top of my head.

Just give one local a call and ask for their advice, its much cheaper to get one now while you have the original than a call out to replace a lost key roadside.

The cheaper non-remote option will still open the doors and start the car, it just wont have a button to unlock the doors and is ideal as a spare if thats what you are after, the more tecchie the key, the higher the price.

As I say, phone a local locksmith for a quote and do the same for a mobile service, the local has got the overheads of a shop, the mobile charges for coming to you. I think Timpsons actually do Ford keys as well nowadays. They just cut the blade and copy the transponder from the key you have.
