NikpV Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) rf - IrD was phased out in 1997 IIRC - easy check Ird has little domes near the rear view mirror and by the tailgate, I cant remember if the zetec came with remote locking as standard though Edited August 27, 2007 by NikpV Quote
sparky Paul Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 I cant remember if the zetec came with remote locking as standard though Remote locking was an option on the '99 Zetec, part of a 'convenience' option which also included the rear boot area cover - so if you haven't got the cover, it's likely that you haven't got the remote locking either. HTH ;) Quote

HTH ;) haven't got the boot cover so maybe not the remote central locking then?? any other way of telling? as i didn't have it from new i don't know what options were added, will frauds have a record?

sparky Paul Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) haven't got the boot cover so maybe not the remote central locking then?? any other way of telling?I would say that it's almost certain that you haven't got remote locking, as it was only available with the luggage cover. If you haven't got the cover, or the the mounting brackets fitted for it, then you've had it - if the luggage cover had been removed at some point, there would be evidence of the mountings for it as I understand they are screwed into and through the rear interior trim panels. In addition, the remote is actually built into the key - a different key with two buttons is supplied for models with remote locking, the remote is not a separate fob type. If the keys you have look like the originals, then I would say no remote locking. as i didn't have it from new i don't know what options were added, will frauds have a record?Not sure about that one... it's possible I guess - the dealer is able to identify what mechanical parts are fitted from the VIN or registration number.
