Not me, but a good friend... Right now... From a Focus (Mk1 saloon, approx 99 plate). Key has been lost (and they have no spare key at all).

If anybody has any clever ideas/tricks/knows anybody in the Bolton area that could help, you'd be aiding a damsel in distress greatly (again - not me... I'm no damsel!)

Failing that, the window needing smashing, and it needing towing - anybody know if dealers will be able to make up keys for the car, or is it a replace the locks job?

PMing me to keep details off the forums is fine. Thanks all - much appreciated!

You will require window smashing tool number 3. Get the car recovered to a Ford Main Dealer. They will remove one of the locks and should be able to cut a key from the barrel code. Then you will have to have the key coded to the car. About £180 for the key and programming plus whatever they charge to remove the lock.

Cheers
