🔧 MINI FRM MODULE REPAIR & EEPROM PROGRAMMING 🔧

This MINI came into our workshop following an FRM (Footwell Module) failure caused by low battery voltage, resulting in corruption of the module’s stored data.

Our specialist vehicle electronics and module repair service allowed us to recover the module rather than simply replacing it.

Using specialist programming equipment, we carried out EEPROM data recovery, programming and data transfer, restoring the required information into the correct memory sectors.

Once the FRM was repaired and refitted, normal operation was restored, including:

💡 Headlight operation
🪟 Electric window operation
🔐 FRM-controlled vehicle functions

We provide ECU and vehicle module repair, EEPROM programming, module data recovery and electronic control module reprogramming from our workshop.

If your vehicle has suffered a module failure, corrupted EEPROM data, communication fault or electrical issue, module replacement isn’t always the only option.

📍 Workshop-based service for customers throughout Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth, Hopton-on-Sea and surrounding Suffolk & Norfolk areas.

Ford Mustang Passenger Window Fault

Another interesting electrical fault in the workshop today 🔧⚡

This Ford Mustang came in with an intermittent passenger window fault. Initially, the symptoms pointed towards a possible issue with the internal controller within the window motor, so replacement of the motor was looking like the likely route.

However, after removing and refitting the motor, we found the actual problem was much simpler — the electrical pin grip within the connector needed adjustment.

The poor connection was causing an intermittent make-and-break situation, resulting in the window operating inconsistently.

A good example of why proper electrical diagnostics and testing are so important. Rather than replacing an expensive component based purely on symptoms, we were able to identify the actual cause and avoid unnecessary parts and expense. 👍

This weekend we’re proud to be supporting the Broads Motor Mania event once again! 🚗🏍️

Over the years we’ve enjoyed being involved with this fantastic local event, and although we were previous event sponsors, unfortunately we missed the printing deadline this year and weren’t able to feature as an official sponsor.

That certainly wasn’t going to stop us lending a hand though! 🤝

We’re pleased to support the organisers by Vehicle Installation Centre providing a gazebo to help throughout the event. It’s great to be able to give something back and support an event that brings together so many amazing vehicles, enthusiasts and local businesses.

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, enjoys the displays and helps make this year’s Broads Motor Mania another huge success.



Wishing everyone involved a fantastic event and we look forward to supporting it again in the future.

🚐☀️ Another Happy Customer Back on the Road!

Today we helped a lady who was on holiday and staying at Hopton Holiday Village after her Citroën Berlingo developed a fault that left the brake lights stuck on.

After carrying out our diagnostics, we traced the issue to the brake light switch. Rather than replacing parts unnecessarily, we cleaned and adjusted the switch, restoring normal operation and getting her back on the road quickly.

Whether you’re local or visiting the area, if you experience an unexpected vehicle electrical fault, we’re here to help.

Our latest challenge in the workshop is a 2012 Jaguar XF suffering from a persistent battery drain (parasitic draw).

Using a combination of our thermal imaging camera and precision milliamp current testing, we’ve already narrowed a fault down to the shared combined fuse which includes radio circuit. 🔍⚡

Modern vehicles are packed with electronic control modules that should enter sleep mode when the vehicle is locked. When one doesn’t, it can continue drawing power and leave you with a flat battery.

The investigation continues as we work through the circuit to identify exactly which component is preventing the system from going to sleep.

If you’re experiencing:
🔋 Flat battery overnight
⚠️ Intermittent battery drain
🚗 Electrical faults
💡 Warning lights or unexplained battery issues

Our specialist diagnostic equipment allows us to accurately trace even the most complex electrical faults without simply replacing parts.

Saved this little Gem… one happy customer! Here is why…

This Honda CR-X arrived with us after being recovered in due to a non-start issue. Following extensive diagnostic testing and research into the factory immobiliser system, we traced the fault to a failed immobiliser that was preventing the engine from starting.

Unfortunately, on older vehicles like this, genuine replacement immobiliser components can be difficult to source, expensive, or require matched keys, ECUs and control units. we worked through the system, identified a solution and bypassed the failed immobiliser.

To ensure the vehicle wasn’t left without security, we then installed a modern aftermarket immobiliser, giving the owner reliable starting and restoring an effective layer of theft protection.

This job is a great example of why accurate diagnostics matter. Throwing parts at a fault could have resulted in unnecessary expense with no guarantee of fixing the problem. By understanding how the system works and adapting a solution to suit the vehicle, we were able to get this classic Honda back on the road while keeping it secure.
