Dealer-level diagnostics

Ford dealer-level diagnostics in Melton Mowbray

Ford dealer diagnostic system (FDRS / IDS) in an independent workshop — programming, coding, keys and software for Fiesta to Galaxy.

Ford diagnostics with the dealer's own system

We run the Ford dealer diagnostic system (FDRS / IDS) — the same system a franchised Ford dealer plugs into your car. That means we see every control unit, not just the engine, and we can do the jobs that a generic tool cannot.

Module programming (PMI), key and PATS work, DPF regeneration, software updates and as-built configuration — the same jobs a Ford dealer does, without the dealer.

Models we see most

Fiesta, Focus, Puma, Kuga, Transit, Transit Custom, Ranger, Mondeo, S-Max, Galaxy — and the rest of the range.

What dealer-level lets us do on a Ford

  • Program and code replacement control modules
  • Key and immobiliser work (SERMI — bring V5C and ID)
  • Software updates and campaign fixes
  • Guided fault-finding written by the manufacturer
  • Driver-assistance, steering-angle and sensor calibration
  • Service, adaptation and emissions-system resets

Questions people ask

Do you have the genuine Ford dealer diagnostic tool?

Yes — Ford dealer diagnostic system (FDRS / IDS), the system a main dealer uses, at our workshop in Melton Mowbray.

Can you program a new key for my Ford?

Yes. Key programming is security-related work under SERMI, so bring the V5C and photo ID — see our SERMI page for exactly what is needed.

Will using an independent garage affect my Ford warranty?

No. Servicing and repairs to the manufacturer schedule with the right parts keep the warranty valid; we record everything on your sheet and in the digital service record where the maker supports it.
