Thanks for the info !! Makes my choice/descision very easy now

No I haven't spoken with Herrod. Reason I use a tuner, is they have always serviced my car. Simply because of the amount of issues I've had with various service centres (I.e 3-days to "try" and find why the car has an air rushing noise when above 60km/h or maybe it was when another dealer forgot to tighhten the oil feed line to the turbo & almost burnt my car to the ground when it dripped onto the exhaust.......I shoudln't laugh when I write that, but it's either LOL or cry)

"supposedly" the software technician (tuner using an outside party) has the Ford IDS tool. I'm just feeling lost with it all & I'm about to pull the car out & have it shipped to a Ford Service Centre.

No idea, as it's at the tuner who is informing me of this :(

Im using a bluetooth OBDII adaptor linked to my phone & tablet using "Torque" love it !!

Codes listed above (pic of scan tool) P1000 P1260 U1900 U2514

Update: I have been infomred that using the Ford ids software, that the cause is still being pouinted at the TCM. 2 x TCM with different product numbers have been used & these have failed to link with the car. A 3rd is being send today for testing........

I used the spare key (and supplied it along with the key I use always)....... I guess I'm getting to the point of, do I send it to a Ford Service Centre ? I've got a "feeling" that when the battery died; for some reason when the replacement went in, the car has thought its being stolen & locked down.

It bizzare I know, however, even these guys are scratching there heads (which makes me very nervous). Everone on various forums, industry (tuners etc) keep saying "it won't be the Mechatronics Unit, it has something to do with voltage and/or programming (bcm etc)"

Yes a new battery was put in and same issue. Then the car was towed to Tunehouse....... Further to above, here is a pic of the current fault codes (which they can't erase)

2 weeks prior to the issue, I was driving into the harbour tunnel & the stated: ABS Fault (wasn't on the brake) Radio turned off and back on car didnt stall or anything all was good till it wouldnt start. Tunehouse have never seen this on a non-tuned car (it had lost all of its memory) Car is at Tunehouse now & they are waiting for a new mechatronics unit to come up, as they/electrician need to check the vaultage. just seems very very weird & I know how much a Mechatronics Unit can cost !! forgot: prior to this occuring, the car had been sitting for about an hour while I cleaned & vacuumed the interior. iPod was connected & running and it cut out the audio twice
