No posts here since October 2022….? 🤔
The last 18 months there has been a lot going on behind the scenes, we realised that ensuring these vehicles stay on the road is more important than just the fun gadgets & upgrades. We still do the fun stuff, but it was clear we had neglected the repair business in recent years, and there was a need in the market for someone to step up and solve some difficult problems.
Since early 2022 every spare minute and dollar here has been invested in R&D and development of our own in-house programming tool, UDS by OldJaguar. https://oldjaguar.com/product/uds-engineering-tool/ This brings some new, unique and convenient capabilities to the repair business. We have worked closely with our partners at PCMFlash to expand the capabilities of that tool too, not just for tuning but for the repair jobs as well.
The worldwide supply chain shortages in recent years have seen many JLR vehicles old & new parked up waiting for new parts, in truth some of these parts will never arrive, some will cost a significant portion of the vehicle value. So we've put all our efforts into making used electronic modules able to be installed/programmed to these cars just like new ones. Or to make used modules function correctly in a vehicle when “virginising” used parts is not possible.
Body Control Modules (BCM), Engine Control Modules (PCM), Transmission Control Modules (TCM), Power Steering Control Modules (PSCM), Instrument Clusters (IPC) and the list goes on.
These capabilities are available here in Australia now but also in other markets through selected partners, so that workshops can better service their customers, and keep these cars on the road. We are still doing some direct business with vehicle owners, but our main goal now is to support those workshops dedicated to JLR, and even the JLR dealers too.
So while we never left, it’s fair to say we’re back (on this platform), though the posts on this page will be a bit different in future.
