Cabrio Zo Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 After all the trouble I had with the key not opening the locks, it finally decided it wasn't going to work in the ignition - easy enough, get a new key cut - but no I only have one key never came with the red master key - the ignition housing had to be broken and I need a complete new lock set as my original key useless :-/ great! Z
McRic Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 soz to hear that Zo that sucks big time, I'm having to get a new gearbox if that makes u feel any better
Cabrio Zo Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 Thanks, that sounds expensive. Could give a whole list of stuff that needs doing on the cabrio, but it'd just depress me! Parts: £50 ignition housing, £50 lock set, £46 to programme the key/imobiliser - has to be done by Ford. No idea what the fitting will cost :-/ Z
McRic Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 surely you've got a mate that could fit em for you to keep costs down it aint hard
no1girlracer Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Zoe - Cant you get the ignition housing from a breakers ? Gonna be the same as any Mk6 escy aint it ? I can get discount on a lock set for you but then there'd be getting it to you. Never rains but it pours eh.
Pelles Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 sounds like something that would happen to me
Dave Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 sounds like something that would happen to me Me 2!
Evv Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Just went out to car are to get omsrthing my reverse lights aint working bulbs are ok WTF is going on!!!!. Dont look like many of us are havin luck with us
Cabrio Zo Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 Good point Rach, thought about breakers but obviously didn't want set locks that may be just as worn. I'll phone up local Ford spares, not sure if they have to break it though to seperate from barrel... My reverse lights are dodgy too... :-/
danielk2002uk Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 THe exact same thing happended to me. There is some light though. Then garage I always go to has the necessary and if yours does he can programme a key as the master for you. It still aint cheap for it will be HALF what ford charge.
Waxmonkey Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 sorry to hear that Ms. Zoe. Still, get it sorted for the summer, and then get the top off. And the roof as well. :]
no1girlracer Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Doesnt sound like the locks were worn just the key is worn, so perhaps you can get lock set from breakers and get it reprogrammed, might be worth ringing around and making a few enquiries. (Then get several spare keys cut and distribute them to members of your family for safe keeping and emergencies !!) Hope you get it sorted.
Evv Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Still, get it sorted for the summer, and then get the top off. And the roof as well. :] wax u really do wanna to get her top off dont ya lol
