The second quote there was me quoting something that was said about it not being a 5 minute job. The older vehicles like of the escort era you could programme a key with 1 minute.
On the newer vehicles you have to connect ids go through the correct routine, Get all the access codes part numbers and a couple of other sets of numbers. Input all the data into another machine get an incode then put that into the IDS machine then there is another routine to follow.
I would say if everything goes ok its a 15 minute job.
All this ballache to save 30 quid

That's still closer to my estimation than his 
Can someone tell me exactly what is wrong with keeping a keyfob from MY car before selling it, which cannot open my old car, and when the dealer is happy to accept it with one key?

What ballache? Not giving the dealer the key, is that ballache?
That key would still need programming.
It can open the car - whether you subsequently took the decision to throw half of it away or not is immaterial. You had/have the key to somebody elses car.
Fair enough cash the tax in or whatever but keeping the key?!
Can we avoid a 6 page argument on why yet again you've posted something logically impossible (Unless you are going to now develop the story in your usual way and say you changed the key over days beforehand) and you just admit it?
Where is the key blade now? Why is everything you do so ridiculous?
Keeping the key when you sell a car on, just.. lol

I bought a blank blade off ebay weeks before I finally changed the car, I changed the blades the morning I changed the car so I could take it to be cut as soon as I had the new car.
Is that the best you can do "just lol", there is nothing wrong with what I've done and you know it - you're just looking for something to pick on. No one has managed to tell me exactly what is wrong with what I've done yet?
Why would I buy something I already have?
I don't believe you. I believe that as per usual, your story has developed to suit the mood the thread has taken.
What, you think I didn't think about this until the morning I collected the car?
See, you've fallen for the bait, as I'll quite happily show you a picture of the old key base missing its blade and the new base already cut when I get home

Me. I don't even know why he bothered asking, what with all his contacts in Ford he knew the answer anyway. The one guy who did offer him advice on what the process involves he shot down in flames as he belieived he knew better.
Yet another MikeHiow thead where nothing as it seems and the only certainty is that something odd happened.

LOL, so when proof is offered that you're all wrong to be criticising, you want to close it. Epic.

Please could we leave this open, just incase someone can answer the question I originally asked? (Which wasn't about the morals of keeping a keyfob that doesn't operate the car when selling said car).
