Our table prints 97BB12A650ABB and 97BB12A650ACB. Read from the left, they agree for eleven characters, part company at the twelfth and agree again at the thirteenth.

That twelfth character is the one to read most slowly. After that, each Ford number in our table has a short section of what is on record for it, and a further section follows the repair through our UK workshop.

The twelfth character, where the print parts company

Our table runs each number together without hyphens. On the unit itself, hyphens may divide the same characters, as in 97BB-12A650-ACB.

Written that way, the twelfth character becomes the middle letter of the ending: B in 97BB-12A650-ABB, C in 97BB-12A650-ACB. On a worn print, the open curve of a C and the closed bowls of a B are the strokes to compare.

A four-letter code follows each number in our table, after a space: NOAH after 97BB12A650ABB, OWLS after 97BB12A650ACB. The same code may also be printed beside the number on the unit. Where it is, it gives one more thing to compare alongside that twelfth character.

What our workshop does with a unit sent by post

Ours is a mail-in service, and units reach us from anywhere in the UK. Contact us for a quote using our online Repair Form.

On arrival, a unit is logged, inspected visually and tested electrically, then taken through diagnostics for the fault it has. We contact you with the outcome and an estimated repair price, and no chargeable work begins until you authorise it.

Our own engineers then carry out the repair in our own UK workshop, with nothing outsourced. They work at component level, under a microscope and with temperature-controlled rework equipment, putting right the specific fault rather than swapping the whole unit.

No repair is complete until it passes final testing. A 24-month warranty sits on the specific repair we carried out.
