I blame BREXIT 🤣

(Someone sensible will be along shortly...)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you're not sure what you're doing, don't do it.

Didn't you save the standard configuration before you started?

No i didnt know how to do that either 😞

I'm not sure about UCDS they're either fake leads and fake programs that destroy your modules or very expensive.

Get yourself set up on FORScan, go into IPC click "load factory asbuilt" at bottom of page and it will download factory configuration.

Press "write all" and it "should" revert back to standard

I tend to agree, and would not be connecting up a fake/clone UCDS to my car. You might find this recent post by Wilco surprising.

The red Chinese UCDS clones (which are based on older UCDS hardware/software) are perfectly able to change the mileage backwards.

These clones are available on AliExpress for less than €10-. The only disadvantage is that these clones do not support the latest Ford models since they are based on older hardware/software. The Focus MK3/MK3.5 models however are fully supported.

They're not for the bin, but the issue you've created is way, way past my level of abilities.

You're going to need a good quality lead (V-Linker or OBDLink EX) and a paid FORScan licence, then FORScan support team will help you recover it.

If you haven't got the lead or the paid license FORScan will not help you

It needs the correct firmware putting back in, then the correct configuration
