Meaning the only way around it is to cancel the policy and take out a new one altogether. Great car btw, always love a mk1 mondy. If you ever need to rehome it etc.... calebaaront 1

To add it to my multicar policy with Hastings has only bumped it up a few bob. It won’t be a long term fleet member so will most likely end up on here at some point Marshall2810, Wibble and eddyramrod 3

Seems to be a few photos of it with the outdoor covers on and maybe with too. Could always phone the company and ask if it belonged to someone who worked there. Wibble 1

egg Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Yay, welcome to club Mondeo. Nice to see, although I always think they look naked without the side rubbing strip. Peter C, calebaaront and JMotor 3
egg Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Let me know if you need any odds and ends of parts - I do have random stuff lying about and also am fairly good on knowing where to find stuff for them after almost a decade of having one. calebaaront 1
calebaaront Posted July 21 Author Posted July 21 Right so my friend has lost the keys for it, they’ve vanished from the face of the earth. He’s ordered me a new key and barrel set but we still need to get in the car to change it all. Is there anyway I can get into it with causing as little damage as possible? I was thinking about the old flat blade and hammer trick egg 1
calebaaront Posted July 21 Author Posted July 21 Also am I right in thinking these have an immobiliser in the key? In which case a new key and barrel set wouldn’t work? I’ve never owned a Ford before so just trying to work things out

I’ve never owned a Ford before so just trying to work things out I think it depends on what immobiliser you have. They switched mid production run - people talk about 'pre-PATS' and PATs cars. I know mine is pre-PATS. calebaaront 1

egg Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Pip Petchy or Paul Harbord on the Mondeo MK1 register group will know the answer to this better than I, I think Paul has resurrected a pre-PATS car with a later PATS loom, from memory https://www.facebook.com/groups/165772690283224 calebaaront 1

It’ll be just my luck that my friend will find the key the second I drill a lock. egg 1

Some programming info here : http://www.mirez.co.uk/KeyProg.htm I’ve also asked my friend which key it had i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that it will be the non PATs key then hopefully swapping out the barrels will be relatively easy egg 1
calebaaront Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 So there’s bad news and good news. The bad news is the key is infact a PATs key, however my friend now thinks the keys are possibly inside the boot, as I mentioned he’s bought me a new key and barrel set so if the keys are in the boot all I’d have to do is replace is the boot lock. Now the question is. How do I get into the boot? Obviously I’ve seen on Top Gear with the man and the van challenge that breaking into a 90s Ford is relatively easy. Is it just as simple as using a flathead screwdriver and a hammer or would it be easier to drill the lock? egg 1
