Have a mk 2 ford focus diesel estate 51 reg 2002 with 2 keys but have
not got one with a zapper.
Can someone tell me if this model came with a zapper and if so how
many buttons should it have.

If it should have one can i just buy one off ebay and program or
reprogram it myself? or isn't it that simple?

Why Im asking is that we had a similar situation with my wifes smart
car and I got a keyfob without the blade, although you could not start
the car with it, you could open the doors, we found it really handy as
my wife would carry it in her handbag as an emergency get in.

I haven't got a handbook but have sent for a workshop manual.

I know handbooks are available to download but they are US versions.

It should have a three-button one that looks like eBay no. 130333041505.
(Not suggesting you should buy this, BTW!)

Programming can be done yourself in-car; it will be a two stage process.
You need to program the remote signal, and you need to get the car to
accept the PATS device. As long as you have two *working* keys, you can
DIY it. Information is available on line, or ask again here.

Second hand keys are rare; they sometimes come up on eBay. You can buy
the separate front part that operates the lock as a blank readily, and
most locksmiths can cut it, although you might have trouble convincing
them that you don't need to pay them 25UKP to copy the programming over!

Complete owner's documentation sets are often listed on eBay, and also
might be less costly than you would imagine from a dealer.
