I have a ford Ka2 , 1997 registration.

I went for a (long) walk in the local forest (Hamsterley, ironically on my birthday) and lost the only set of keys.

I walked back to retrace my steps twice- no keys-nightmare

I posted some notes on the fenceposts on the way I took, asking if anyone found them to let me know-nothing-contacted the police-nothing

I assumed it wouldn’t be too complicated a job (well the last time I had this sort of problem cars didn’t have immobilisers….) to get the car started somehow.

So I called the mechanic out.

He couldn’t start the car, and said it was down to the “chip in the key” and some other stuff that I hadn’t a chance of understanding.

Car is now towed back home, dead.

Whilst I understand that answering this kind of question on an open forum wouldn’t be wise, would there be any chance someone could email me with some sort of suggestion about what to do next?

Do I really have to scrap the car because I lost the ignition key?

Having been made redundant (http://grahamchalk.blogspot.com/) I don’t have a lot of money to play with on solving this one (read that as NO money to solve this one ;)

Ford said they can sot it out. For £450. (The car cost £250….)

Would anyone out there care to save my life?
