Each place charges their own rates.

Don't think there is a rolling road in or around Peterborough anymore other than Jabbasport near Crowland who are VAG specialists.

http://www.jabbasport.com/

Not too far away are Corten Miller on way to Skegness, they have Dyno Dynamics rollers

£48 inc vat for power run.

Cheers for that, but the Corten one is and hour and a half away and the jabba one is a hour away.

Anyone been here?

I have heard his name before (Peter Baldwin) but cant remember what for?

This one is still an hour away but i can pop into Cambridge and hit two birds with one stone and all that.

I think i did hear once before about £40, so i guess £50 is now the going rate. Seems alot just to know something thats not REALLY needed

Peter Baldwin is a guy who races Mini Miglia over 70 yrs old, so very much an 'old skool' tuner.

Carbs and distributor type guy...Not sure if he works on modern stuff? Maybe worth a call to him?

He's actually just been on Motors TV racing at Castle Combe.

The cheapest way of getting a power run is with a club/forum organised dyno day.

Ideally on a Dyno Dynamics rollers, so Pf approved
