Hi can anyone please advise me on a little problem i have got with my Galaxy 2.8 V6 Ghia X R reg,We had a childrens birthday party recently and since the party our Galaxy keys have gone missing so we believe one of the children have taken them.I have seen on ebay someone was selling a full lock set and the box that picks up the chip in the the key for the immobilizer,and was wondering if anyone could tell me were this immobilizer transponder box is, i also have a Vw Sharan Tdi on a p reg which is probably the most ugly sharan on the road but its only a work horse,also would the locks a transponder boxes be the same so i can get the Galaxy running again. Cheers Adrian

I telephoned Ford technical and they said they can sell me a new key but it wont have a chip so I wont be able to drive it, "what goods that",I had to drill out my ignition on the vehicle as i needed to move the vehicle as it was blocking in 6 parents cars on my drive from the party who had to leave them at mine till the next day,it was a saturday afternoon there were no Ford dealers open till Tuesday as it was a bank holiday weekend and people wanted their cars.

You can replace all the locks and get a ford mechanic out to program the immobiliser or you could replace the ignition lock - have another key cut for the door locks but will still need ford to match the chip to the car. Sounds like the cheapest option would be to get the car towed to the nearest ford dealer, get a new key cut for the doors and fit new ignition lock getting ford to mtch them up, you would end up with two separate keys - one to run the car and one to open the doors ;)
