I doubt the Ford have made the locking nuts.

I bought a Vauxhall Omega and found the wheel nut key was missing when I came to replace the tires. The local Vauxhall dealer tried a set of their keys and told me they did not fit. I was quoted

Do a search of the forum. There are quite a few threads on this. Everything from how to remove them without a key, to pictures/codes of the various key sets. Ford/VW/SEAT dealers servicing depts should have a complete master set available and yes you can order replacements both from dealers and the OEM (info in one of the threads). People like kwikfit etc have special tools that allow them to remove them (the bolts will usually be damaged in the process - replace them with a standard bolt)
