I have lost the petrol cap(diesel) key for my R reg Escort van. What is the best way to get a new one?
Answers:
getting a replacement key from ford will cost a fortune, and takes time. cheapest easiest and quicest way is to break the lock on deisel cap (take flat head screwdriver place in lock and smash in with screwdriver turn and cap should come away) replacement caps are available from most retailers like halfords for around £5-£10 with new key
ask someone who does key cutting it shouldnt cost much to make a new one.x
depends if it's the original lock which i very much doubt as 1 key normally does all locks, so it's likely it's had a new 1 at some point. i'd just buy a new cap with lock and break the old 1 off. you probably get 1 from a scrappy for a fiver
Why don't you try looking on Ebay.?
Go to your local scrapyard and get one from there.
It'll be cheaper and more convenient.
Buy a new one from Halfords for about £5 - £10. Break the old one off.
Try your local Scrap/breakers yard
you will have to go to a scrapper and get the locking cap and key from their they are easy to take off once you have a replacement.
use a screwdriver in the lock keep turning back and forth and it will release although it will break the lock
buy a new one from a autopart dealer it will save you time and money
insert a screwdriver into key hole good whack with hammer barrel will drop into tank <harmless> buy new cap £5
