The dealer's computer should have details of the key number. You may [with all the right evidence] just be able to order a replacement key fitted with a chip that's pre-coded to your immobilizer. If not; then the new key's chip code will have to be entered into the immob box.

Or an auto-locksmith might be able to help. As these are only Immob-1; it's possible to extract the SKC code from the immob box with the right equipment.

Any dealer should be able to access the Ford central database that should hold the build data for your car.
