MacSxS Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 i have bought a 2005 ford ranger thunder as a shoot truck but it only came with one key, I believe there is a chip within it and would like another one. Is my only option to go to a ford dealer? or is there somewhere cheaper to get one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budice Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Any automotive locksmith should be able to clone your existing key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Timpsons will do this type of key, theres branches in lots of high streets/ supermarkets, about £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 You have to have a code for it to be done by Timpsons if you want to pm me there’s a cheaper alternative that I wouldn’t put on here or a public place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
