I'm in Tain North of Inverness. Closest automotive locksmith is Keith which is 70 miles away. Is there anything I can do myself or any tool I can purchase to sort this?

I'm down south sorry so unable to be of any help.
Nothing you can do without purchasing a key programming tool. It will work out cheaper and quicker to pay that locksmith to do the job and will also get you out of trouble. Then possibly look at buying a tool capable of undertaking these jobs at a later stage. It depends on how much of a hurry the customer is in. If you have a couple of days on your hands and also the money to invest then it would be wiser to put that money towards the purchase of a tool now then do the job yourself.

Hi I have an autek ikey and a couple other Chinese clone programmers. 2 keys are working, my programmers are showing that 2 keys are coded to it also but the fault code still is there and won't delete. Would it be worth me buying a proper Ford key from Ford and programming that to it as well or is it the tools I have can't do the job properly?
