Dealer has activated the "hire" mode (just like mine )

Will have to go to Fords for them to switch off the "hire " mode via the ECU

fantastic thanks very much for your advice! will book it into fords this week! makes sense with the history i got with the van. it use to be a demo van for ford so can see why they turned on to hire mode to stop idiots messing about with the alarm fob. again thanks all for the help been pulling my hair out about this problem!
