Had this problem since summer, seems to be getting slightly worse as
weather gets colder.
Symptoms are going along quite OK, then suddenly engine seems to lose
power and you notice speedo has dropped to zero.  If you have to come

Local garage programmed the remote key for us, cost £50, it would
have been cheaper to have it done at our local Ford Dealer.
Live and learn eh.
