You can get a full working replacement without going to the dealer
Many Shoe Repair shops (like ours) have got the BIANCHI or SILCA Transponder system, and this can programme Ford Texas chipped keys without the need of the master.

The average cost for this would be around £50 (far cheaper than Ford)

If you had the Master Key - Whole top bright red, this would cost around £18 for a spare

The manual mentions two keys to programme a new one, this would be the case if yours had a blue chip (Texas Crypto - very late 98>) Luckily you have got the standard Texas

Hope this helps a little
Kev
