Just rang SCS for a price on a re-map for my L8 and i was basically told that he doesnt do it anymore!

Has anybody else been told this info, seems strange to me!

I don't think he's been keen on doing RST's for a while now. Can't say I blame him!

It's not that he doesn't work on RSTs, its that he used to use Ahmed to map Webber stuff, and Ahmed has gone back to Ford full time, so it is very difficult for him to get Ahmed to do this anymore. In view of this, he now only does Pectel ECUs.

If you want to stick with the L8, then Martin Hadland can now do this (and on his rolling road). Call him on 01214 586 010 .

Martin Hadland to map an Escort turbo on weber L8?

News to me?


B16 CVH,

"I have spoken with Karl but just wanted to get a few more prices before i jump in!"

Also mate when getting a car mapped it's not the best price that determines the best job, you should use people with proven results on the engine and mgmt type you have. As you have a cvh on weber, I don't think I need to say any more except Tim and Oli!!!

Why not if you can do it?

A little competition is healthy for customers and businesses.
