Ford Fiesta - Starting Problems - tonytodd


I have a 97 fiesta 1.25 ghia. I was given it because it's riddled with problems and is a good place for me to learn on:
1. I have 1 red key and 1 black key. The red one starts the car, the black one opens the fuel filler cap. I cannot lock any doors as they wont unlock again. The boot is locked shut.
2. In the last couple of days the car wont start. It makes a clicking noise from the drivers footwell where I found the immobiliser.
3. I have no idea if the central locking works (becuase of the above problems) but I'm willing to bet it doesnt. I was planning on fitting a complete new lock and key set.
Unfortunately my Haynes Book Of Lies is useless!
Are these problems related? Could I fix them by installing the new locks and keys, or would I need to get an auto electrician in? I'd rather do it myself as I have vrey little funds for the project. Please help! Someone wants to buy it but I wont let it go unless it works!
