Phil 3747 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 We are just in the process of buying our daughter a '60 plate Ka 2 but it does not have a remote locking key, it just has the manual one that has to be inserted into the door lock to unlock the car. I have just read that Ford charge around £230 to buy and programme one...are there any cheaper alternatives ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 3747 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Been in to Timpsons and they will supply and code one for £140 We picked the car up yesterday and I gave it a quick once over and it appears as though the central locking is a bit intermittent as when I turn the lock in the drivers door, it doesn't always unlock. I've googled it but can't see any other posts about central locking/remote key problems...is there an issue with these cars or not ?? Also, I see there's no spare wheel but am wanting to get one for her...has anyone got one for sale local to West Yorkshire ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The weekend tends to be quiet as everyone is chilling out and doing weekendy type things The problem may be either corrosion in the drivers door lock module, a panel off and a good look / spray with WD40 should help. Was the car originally specced with RCL?, if so then a key provided and coded by a decent Auto Locksmith is often better value than from a dealership.

Phil 3747 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Cheers Stoney....we don't know if it was originally specced with RCL..how do we find out ?? Also..been back in to Timpsons and the guy has now checked his data and found that a RCL key will be £240 as they have to order them from Ford and then code them so daughter is now just looking at getting a manual spare key but they still want £60 for one of those depending on the chip !!!
