LE10 and M69 Junction 1 · Hinckley, Burbage and Wolvey
Data recovery for Hinckley. The test slot, the prototype and the weather cannot be booked again.
The way into the town is Junction 1 of the M69, and the A5 running past it is the county boundary: one side of that road is Leicestershire and the other is not. The work comes from what sits on those junctions. More than thirty-five global manufacturers, Tier 1s and specialist automotive firms sit within MIRA Technology Park, an Enterprise Zone operated by HORIBA MIRA, on the borough council's own figures. Their vehicle test logs, CAN bus captures, ADAS sensor and camera sets, hardware-in-the-loop runs, homologation evidence and CAE model libraries are the least reproducible material anyone in the county keeps. Hinckley Park puts 82 acres straight onto the junction, the DPD parcel hub included, and there a night of scan records is the only proof a consignment ever moved. Triumph have had their headquarters and main factory in Hinckley since 1988. The UK site keeps the R&D, the prototype builds and Factory Customs, one-off pieces with no second copy anywhere. Nothing is collected. Get a quote first, then send it by tracked post to the intake lab in Manchester; the examination costs nothing, and a written figure is settled before any chargeable step: £300 + VAT for one disk, £500 + VAT upwards for an array.

The five we see most often out of LE10.
Not yours? Open the fault finder →| What is happening | What brings it in | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| A test-department array the machines cannot see | Vehicle log files, CAN bus captures and ADAS sets, all housed in one place | Cut the power, label each disk with its bay as it comes out, get a quote, then post the bare drives |
| The one machine in the prototype shop office | Purchased along with its bench, and left untouched since | Get a quote, then post the disks; the chassis stays with your IT |
| A rugged external that lives in a site bag | Proving-ground runs and photographs, copied nowhere else | We encounter this more often than any other type; unplug it |
| A mirror that holds the scan history and runs on a single disk | Its alerts go to a group mailbox that has no owner | An image must be taken before any rebuild happens |
| Dropped on the dock, and it has clicked every time since | A machine wheeled round a workshop for a full week takes many more knocks than most people realise | Do not try it again: the next time it is powered up could be the last |
How the drive gets to us, and what it costs.
The four questions we are asked most.
Is it only Hinckley itself, or the villages as well?
Hinckley, Burbage, Wolvey and Sharnford are all LE10 and all on the same terms; Barwell and Earl Shilton are LE9 and treated no differently. We do not collect from anywhere, so a unit on the junction and a workshop on a side street both get a quote, post the drive tracked, get the first look free, and pay nothing for its journey home.
A rebuild that has not moved in hours — cut the power?
Straight away, not at the end of the shift. Finishing a rebuild means reading every sector on every disk left in the set, and that continuous load uses up what life the other worn disks have left; if it breaks off halfway you will be worse off than the fault left you. Disconnect the power, label each disk with the bay number it came from, then contact us for a quote. Once you have it, post the disks to us as bare drives. A NAS is handled the same way if its disks come out, each labelled with its bay; if they do not, send the whole NAS. Any job with several disks opens at £500 + VAT.
It may have to stand up as evidence later. What do we get back?
We never write to the disk you post: every stage works against a read-only image of it, and the drive itself goes home in the state it arrived in. Before any chargeable step, one fixed figure is settled in writing. At the end you receive the files on new media, along with an itemised account of what came off clean and what did not. That is enough for an inspector, an auditor or a claim file.
How is a drive best packed for posting?
Most damage in transit happens because the drive is allowed to move, so take that away first. Put it in an antistatic bag where you can and pack the box so the drive cannot move; the original packing material will do the job. Get a quote first, then send it tracked. Insure the parcel for the value of the data, rather than the value of the drive itself, and include a printed copy of the shipping form. The posting page covers the rest; the journey back is paid by us.
