- Wrap first. Several layers of bubble wrap or foam around the module — nothing should be able to move or rattle inside the box.
- Use a rigid box. A jiffy bag is not sufficient for a PCB-based module. A small cardboard box with the module immobilised in packing material is ideal.
- Include your details. A note inside with your full name, return address, contact phone number, vehicle registration and a brief description of the fault helps us get straight to work without having to chase you for information.
- Send tracked. Royal Mail Tracked 24 or 48, or any courier service with a tracking number. Keep your receipt until the module is back with you.
- Address to: The Vehicle Check, Office 13, 25 Mollison Avenue, Enfield, EN3 7NJ.
If you have never removed a BCM before and want guidance specific to your model, call us before you start — we would rather spend two minutes on the phone with you than receive a damaged unit.
You can also read the full overview on our mail-in repair service page, which covers how the process works for all module types we handle.
What Happens Once We Receive Your Ford BCM?
The moment your module lands with us it is logged, inspected and assessed on the bench. Our process is straightforward and honest: if there is a straightforward cloning or firmware job to do, we get on with it — no waiting for approval on standard work. If we find something unexpected during inspection, such as physical damage to the board, water corrosion or a blown component that changes the scope of the repair, we contact you before we do anything further. You will never receive an invoice for work you did not agree to.
Bench testing follows the repair or clone — we verify key communication, module identity and the relevant output functions before we box it up. You do not pay a penny in return postage.

Why Does Our Mail-In BCM Service Beat the Dealer Every Time?
Ford main dealers are not set up to repair body control modules — they replace them and charge for the part, the labour and the programming session as three separate line items. The total cost for a dealer-supplied and programmed BCM on a Focus or Fiesta typically sits between £450 and £900 depending on age and specification; on a Transit or Mondeo it can exceed £1,000. On top of that, your vehicle may need to stay with the dealer for several days while they wait for parts.
Our mail-in service costs a fraction of that. You keep your original module — which carries your vehicle's identity and history — and we restore it to full function. The car does not leave your property. The repair is completed within a defined, predictable timeframe, and the module comes back ready to fit with a full warranty.
If your Ford also has ABS concerns alongside the BCM fault, it is worth knowing that we handle ABS module repair through the same mail-in process — many customers combine both modules in a single booking.
Is This Service Right for Your Situation?
If a diagnostic scan has identified a fault stored in the BCM, if your Ford was running fine before a second-hand BCM was fitted and it has not been the same since, or if you have a known good replacement module that simply needs cloning to your vehicle — yes, this service is exactly right. If you are unsure whether the BCM is genuinely the root cause of your fault, describe the symptoms when you call or use our contact page and we will give you an honest steer before you remove anything.
