I just love the sarcastic note of your reply. While I might have had trouble replying at least I can spell and capitalise which clearly is a bit of a challenge for you. Be a good chap - don't let the heady responsibility of being a moderator go to your head.

The reason why there were multiple posts (2!) is - I think - beacuse your "Reply" option is somewhat clumsy and I managed to simply re-post rather than reply to Mirez - and yes: thank you for the blindingly obvious suggestion of seraching the site. I did do that first - without success. In any event, case closed - as the suggestion from Mirez the Mondeo owner worked - after about an hour. Mirez - thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - sadly this hasn't worked eiether. Anyone else with bright ideas please? If its the same as the mondeo (which I think they are) then she's enterered it incorrectly 3 times and its in semi lockout mode. You need to leave the ignition on (pos 2, engine hasn't got to be running) and radio on for 30 minutes, it'll then allow another attempt but if thats incorrect you'll be locked out for another 30 mins.

Our 05 1.9 TDi auto went in for a replacement alternator last week. Unfortunately I was away at the time so when the car emerged from the garage, the wife - bless her - tried to re-set the radio with what she thought was the right code. After 2 attempts - so she tells me - the system went to SAFE although my manual tells me it should be 10 attempts. I have tried in vain to get the correct code in - we have all the original documentation complete with radio code which I last used perfectly happily when I changed the battery in July - but it remains steadfastly in SAFE mode. Any suggestions as to next steps gratefully received as I have little faith in the local Ford dealership (Salisbury). Thanks.
