Default Best place for a rolling road tune-Sheffield area

I am looking at getting my 4x4 saff on a rolling road to sort a couple of issues. Can anyone recommend a good cossie guy within an hour or so of Sheffield. i know of several rolling roads nearby but have never dealt with any of them so would appreciate any recommendations

Would also be nice to see what its got

Turbo technics t35 turbo
Big pro alloy intercooler
green injectors
apparently a stage 3 remap and group a headgasket

Nipped round and saw the guys at GR. Unfortunately he said he could run the car up on the rollers and see what it was doing but if anything was amiss he couldn't make any software adjustments as he hasn't got the gear for cossies

May get it on the rollers and see whats happening and if anythings wrong may have to look further afield

Thanks guys for the info. Have decided against GR as there is no point taking it there if they have no software to alter things

Has anyone had dealings with Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield? They have 4 wheel rollers and are only 20 mins away??

Go see Chris at Sheffield Rolling Road, cant recommend him enough.
UNIT 4, PARKLANDS COURT
DANNEMORA DRIVE, SHEFFIELD, SOUTH YORKSHIRE S9 5DF
0114 332 0154

Or for live mapping
MND Motorsport, ask for Nick, expert on live mapping, he uses the Mintex proving ground nr Sherburn in Elmett for his mapping sessions. These were the only people i ever trusted to do my various rally cars over the years.

You would say that tho being a mod and friends.

Where has that post gone that had all the tuners listed and had everyones polls on which to choose. It really did explain where to go better than propaganda and real results.

The best RR is MSD facilities wise, but the best for a setup is NMS

I think i am going to give Nobles a try. I would love to go to MSD but being self employed and very busy i cannot afford the time away from work at the mo and it would be at least a full days job. With Nobles i can drop the car with them and leave it if necessary. They are only 20/30 mins away

Thanks for the advice and recommendations guys. I will let you know what happens when i go
