    On the list of Council garages that can help, one is listed as:

    Thamesdown Bus Garage, Corporation Street, Swindon. ·Medway Council – 01634 306000


    Confused? Swindon is in Wiltshire and Medway is Kent. Why would the garage in Swindon use a Kent council number?
    Any ideas or just an oversight?

    Another thing is that BT Fleet garages do MOTs too. They are a separate company to BT in the main and as any MOT money goes direct to their employers and not in their back pockets, they are also a good bet for honest advice ... well, the one in Maidstone is anyway !!

    Hi Colombo,

    I just found out that on e-bay one guy is offering to get your Ford stereo code for 1.99.(he will need your stereo serial number which is usually on the right side of steroe). Just search for focus stereo decode (he does it for all ford models but escord name is not in the heading). Guys e-bay id is paulj1963.
    Good luck mate.
