I got a ignition key for a Focus from a ford dealer for £20 then programmed it my self by following the instructions in the vehicle handbook or take it to a independent garage to be programmed they will charge less.

Had same with Fiat but it was far more than that. It's possible to get cheaper ones cut but without electronic locking or alarm setting for the security system. We now have one key that can 'bleep' the car and a reserve key that can 'manually' lock the car. Both work with the ignitiion.
I remember the good 'ole' days when I had my first ford cortina (as did everyone else) and all cortina keys opened all cortinas. As would virtually anything that fitted into the lock.
Try ebay - seems to be where anything is purchasable.

You can do much cheaper... I have four keys programmed for my Ford.
Blank keys cost around $15 to $17 (about ten quid) and need to be programmed which is not a difficult task at all and the procedures for which you'll find in your car's owner's manual. (Look under spare keys.)
Be sure to program ALL the keys you want at the same time... keys previously programmed but not reprogrammed will open locks but will not work ignition.
Spare keys here in North America are pretty easy to find in local automotive stores and some larger hardware stores... Completely ignorant of the situation in the UK so ask around.
Good luck.

When will people learn that WD40 is a Water Dispersant and not an oil substitute? A few spots of normal 3-in-1 oil is probably all it needs, assuming nothing's broken internally in the lock.

Chances are you can't. My Smart key cost £15 for the key and the rest , £65, was an hours labour (actually around five minutes) to programme the electronic part of it

probably not that much to pay considering they will know what they are doing, having done it a million times, rather than some backstreet mechanic who "reckons he could do it", charges u £80 quid, makes a complete hash of it and you need to pay to repair his handywork.
