OK

I've spoken to quite a few people now. I spoke to a couple of people at Ford today.

Looks like I will be in the clear because I have the BEM (Body Electronics Module).

Its the BEM that looks after the Smart shield.

The Ford guy says I need the Engine computer, BEM and ignition (the ignition has a mini computer on it). He says I should just hook up the wiring and they will reprogram it just as they would for a person who lost their keys. The BEM will come up with heaps of error codes but wont stop the car running.

If I did not have the BEM, I would have to find another solution (such as Lyn's suggestion).

I'll let you know if The Ford people are right.
