10/09/2020 Topic: Manufacturer Websites - BMW and Mini Online Service History and Technical Information (OSS to AOS) cotgraveservice Posts: 2	REF: BMW AOS registration Morning all, having fun with BMW initial form submission last night saying my VAT number was incorrect. I eventually realised the BMW system must interrogate a database that was stopping the submission of the form. Turns out it wasn't just having the GB (no spaces) then the number it also needs the business address to match. But match what?! Used google came across www.vat-search.co.uk. Enter your business name and location, find your entry and check exactly how your address is recorded - mine had 'Rd' instead of 'Road' and 'Notts' instead of 'Nottingham' I changed the registration form to match and bingo, 50 submissions and an hour later we're submitted. Waiting in trepidation for my validation now!! edited by cotgraveservice on 10/09/2020 edited by cotgraveservice on 10/09/2020

Can anyone please tell me what we have to do to access Ford Digital Service Records? One of our fleet customers has a number of new Ford vehicles and we need to be able you update their service records in order to retail the warranty. edited by Graham Goode Motors on 30/07/2020

27/07/2020 Topic: Mercedes Digital Service Records - How to change language Graham Goode Motors Posts: 43 Reputation: 4	For whatever reason my Mercedes DSB took it upon itself to change the default language from English to German and it has taken my many frustrating days to resolve this. Now I know how to do it I thought this information may be of use to someone else, so here is what you have to do: Obviously the screenshots I am using are now in English, but the menu positions are in the same place. First of all you log onto the DSB as usual, but have to access the settings menu on the top left hand side. Then you need 'User Settings' which is the 4th menu item down.
