Anyone had any luck getting a replacement for the ‘stock’ McGard key? The original appears to be made of cheese. The codes aren’t recognised by the European (German) site, and the US site is down. I only want them off so I can get rid.

This is a dealership job I would say. They should be able to order and sort for you.

I used these guys on Ebay a while back,over a year ago.
Scanned the card you get with the original and included that. Fast turn around and looks just like the old one did ( misplaced ).

Don't use rattle guns with them!!!

Apologies, if it's the same people you've tried. I seem to remember that some companies could work from photos of the key but can't remember their names.

ETA: My number was 11 digit and nothing like the ones they show and is why I scanned the card.

Thanks guys. Logic would suggest that the dealer would help, but this is Ford, and they buy these things aftermarket in the USA so I'm hoping to cut out the middleman. The eBay link is the for the people I was looking at as an alternative to McGard direct; great to know someone has used them with success - thanks!

P.S. thanks for the update above - yes, mine's an 11 digit as well. Just found out that McGard USA are in New York and have been ordered to close. I'll use the Liverpool guys.

Pretty sure the lockers are UK supply.

I spotted them in the boot (trunk lol) on a showroom car and the dealer told me they were a UK addition and fitted prior to sale :like:

Just to follow up. Outstanding service from https://www.lockingwheelnutkeys.co.uk/ who were able to get a key identified and sent from Germany next day. Ordered Sunday, delivered Tuesday. You choose the speed of delivery and pay accordingly - mine came DHL.

Also got a really quick response from the German branch of McGard www.mcgard.de who were happy to supply for £16 (or £26 for 2) plus postage.

Panic over.
