Yeah I flick through and try to grasp what I can but there is a lot lol.
If I get an ECU without the corresponding key, does that leave the ECU useless?

I spotted this has the keys etc

Yep if it's a 2.0 manual petrol it's a great buy. The postage would be £6~8 so you have a ready mapped ready to go ecu for £15.

If you use the Sierra steering column the Mondeo barrel and key are a ditect fit and the aerial goes over the top and holds with a spot of pu glue.

The other thing I was thinking was fixint the key inside the areial behing the dash. Then using a different style imobaliser and key etc?

So you want to bypass a free a thatcham approved Immobilizer to fit an aftermarket one at extra cost.

Keep it simple for iva. Key for ignition and steering lock and immobiliser and its job done.

Hi!
Sorry for being a pain, being an engineer, like to ask lots of questions lol
If I bought this:
FORD MONDEO MK2 2.0 16V BLACK TOP ECU AND LOCK SET 1997 TO 2000/1 SHAPE
Would it fit this steering column?
FORD MONDEO MK3 ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN WITH REMOTE KEY
Many Thanks!
