Mrs Nick is Catholic. I may start with her. Ford will kindly charge me £30 to put the code in  Banghead Banghead

Try here:

Radio Code UK

Not sure what the charge is but it'll be less than Ford I would guess.

Failing that why not ring Growler? He's in the Trade like.

See above re Growler.

Maybe the serial number is listed on the handbook/manual?

Have you changed the code since you had the car. If not and you bought it new then it will be the default code normally something like 9999. You could try googling and see if that gives you any codes, the problem may be though that you only get a certain amount of attempts before it locks itself.

Anywho, British gas boiler servicing.

I know a bit about this as a few years ago I moonlighted at the call centre that handles the calls regarding boiler breakdown/service contracts etc.

It was a real eye opener and no mistake.

I could tell you some stories like.  whistle:

Well like.

At the time BG had about half a dozen call centres across the country. They took the decision that after 9pm all call centres would close and all calls would be routed through Leicester.

I got the evening shift (7 - 11pm) through a temp agency. I was told there would be 2 weeks training prior to going solo on the call centre. One week class room then one week pairing with an experienced operator.

In reality those of us that could string two words together went solo about day 3.

BG also showed immaculate timing by introducing this in the autum when boilers were being switched on for the first time in months up and down the country and therefore breaking down left, right and centre.

I didnt matter where you lived. Lerwick or London. Cardiff or Newcastle you came through to TG and Co in Leicester.

Shall I go on?

I tried 9999 and it didn't werk. 10 attempts and the radio gets locked!

Thanks anyhoo
