Icarus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi all A newbie here but with a simple question. I hsve just discovered that I have lost my service book after a recent move. Is it possible to get a new one and recreate the entries starting with the original Ford delivery stamp etc. I know some of the recent services but not the older ones. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 No, it's not stored on any Ford database. The only way you could do it is if you've owned it from new and had it serviced at the same dealership every time, that dealership may do it for you.

Mine did that for me with the Mrs's old Ka - which was only fair as it was them who lost the book in the first place!😀 PS: I see the "Title" trap is still catching folk out when starting a topic - could admin amend it to "Topic Title", "Title of Topic" etc? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thanks. I’ll see what can be done. Useful point too about “Title” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My understanding is if it's a main dealer then the service history is traceable even if you aren't the original purchaser/ owner. They should still have a record, and you should be able to get a replacement book or at the very least get a service print out of any services that were done with them. Get in touch with the Ford dealer/s that have been servicing it 🙂 Hope you manage to get it sorted. Let us know how you get on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my car has a Digital service Record "DSR" but only starting a few years ago. You may have some luck contacting Ford or asking a dealer.

And in fact Ford UK customer services were extremely unhelpful and rude when I tried to find the service history for the Mk3 (just 6 years old when I bought it). Just kept telling me that they don't keep national records and to stop wasting their time! 😮 The car had full Ford history but due to a mileage error made by a tech on an MOT & service the old book was destroyed and a new one created with only the very latest services in it. The older services would only have been stored on that particular dealers system but I had no way of finding out which dealer that was. I tried contacting the dealer that was written on the numberplates but they wouldn't even confirm the services that they'd stamped let alone any previous ones!

Isn't it amazing that Ford think it's OK to treat customers like that. I just can't understand bad customer service, it's so counter productive! Lets hope for the OP's sake that their dealer is more helpful. . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Dsr has been about for a number of years and all service history at ford dealers should be logged on a central database any ford dealer can access and independents can to if they pay for access via ford etis. Can't remember when exactly dsr started, I recon it was about 2013/14. It is relient on the service depts entering the details as far as I'm aware. I don't have permissions access to that part of etis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Ford sell and service thousands of cars a year, I doubt they'll miss the odd customer lol. I've also had poor experiences with the parts and service side as well. But it's not just Ford either, I seem to attract poor customer service wherever I go! Even if the OPs dealer does use the DSR system, it won't go all the way back to his PDI stamp in 2009. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
