Ducato 2.0 jtd 11

Ok just bought a 2006 ducato van 2.o jtd
There is a few jobs to be done with it that im trying to get sorted out.
First being
I have only 1 key that starts the van, there is a problem with all locks that there were an attempted break in and all lockes were damaged with a screwdriver !!! i mean flathead screwdriver inserted into all locks and twisted to smitherines.....
I dont know weather there is central locking in the van?
Heres a pic of the 1 and only key i got with the van

That round circle part of the key in black in the above picture is not a button?

Any thoughts on the above?
i know this is going to cost money but it is a project.

Thanks to all,,,,
Paul

Hi
From the picture of the fob, I would say that it is not fitted with a central locking system as the Key does not have any "lock /Unlock" buttons & the key fob only contains the transducer with the vehicles security code to enable the vehicle to start.

Theres central locking in it ok, if inside and close drivers door catch from inside the whole van locks up,,,,,,

Maybe then that is not one of the original keys as if it has central locking the fob has to have the two buttons for lock/unlock.
Maybe they lost the original keys & have this "cheaper version type key recoded to the vehicles ECU to enable starting & did not worry about the central locking type keys?
Cheers

Yes im coming to that conclusion too, as there is nothing on the key regarding fiat or anything else, what can i do? i dont like going to the main stealers if i can avoid it.

You would think a key company or something like it can do a key even for the central locking? and then just use the other to start the van,, does this make any sense,, you can see im not a mechanic,,,,but you would think that the key that starts it would lock and unlock the drivers door , and it doesent,,,,

would it just be easier to get a new door barrel ? as the one fitted is not working, at least that way i can lock up the van

Update:
The key i have dont work in any of the door locks ie it dont turn, now that puts a different light on things, im lost here

Does the key you have fit the ignition and start the van? Hope you haven't bought a pig in a poke.
I have a genuine lockset with two key blades no fobs somewhere you just need to fit the blade to your fob. I could stick it on ebay if you want.

Other options:
Disconnect the door locks and fit a thatcham approved alarm with immobiliser output - disadvantage is if the battery went flat you'd have to break into your own van but fortunately/unfortunately its very easy to break into the ducato.

Buy a full lockset + keys + ecu + immobiliser from scrappie

Buy full lockset + keys from dealer and pay for programming of keys.

Yes the key i have will start the van and also open petrol cap,,,

iv just being onto a nice guy at fiat parts in waterford, he reckons that whatever happened along the way the locks on the van are original and the ignition was changed probobly got from breakers with the fuel cap,,,,

im getting there nearly one problem sorted,

Thought you were in the UK, you havn't a hope of getting a lockset in a scrappie here and if you found one they'd want a million quid for it feckin chancers. Got a quote for some bits yesterday from the biggest dismantler in the midlands - 280 euro got the whole lot delivered to the door from dungannon for 65 sterling. I'll dig out the lockset later and pm you.
