Is that not the previous model not the latest one with alleged security issues?Was looking online to see if there was anything else I could add to my motorhome security, I came across this. http://www.whatvan.co.uk/Awards-2007/Security.pdf Unbelievable.
We used to cut all sorts of keys when we were in business ... The Tibbe key was one of the easiest to read and reproduce. I had a case where a customer locked his vehicle leaving the keys in the footwell where I was able to read the key and cut him a spare.It's any Ford vehicle that uses the Tibbe key.

You can increase the security pretty easily and cheaply. Here is what I have done so far.
Replaced the driver’s door lock with a Hykee lock.
Disconnected the passenger door linkage so it can’t be unlocked from the outside.
God! Have you not heard of a crane lift and a flatbed lorry?? A group of people with one lifted a 4 tonne generator after disconnecting it from the grid system leaving a local village in the dark near here. Not suspicious as they even had a power-gen lorry to do it with,, that had been nicked earlier. All you can do is slow them up but if it is wanted they will have it. Very efficient workers! can clear a house in minutes when it takes Pickford all day. Cleared my workshop in 5 minutes, but got seen so they scarpered and dumped the van they had along with 6 drive on mowers and all my stuff.
Pedal box that locks over the brake and clutch pedals.
Drivers seat turned and locked in the rear position.
Sigma cat 1 alarm bypassing the central locking.
120 decibel fire alarm warbler added to alarm.
Next on the list is, move the OBD port out of the way and replace it with a dummy wired to the inverter, so when they plug their equipment in, it gets fried.
It was not just Fords, some older Jags also have Tibbe keys.
Fords are being stolen to order for the parts, not because they're easier to steal.
I am willing to bet that an awful lot more Transit based Motorhomes are NOT stolen than those that are...
