Question Series 2 setup

Hi guys
Had my series 2 for 5 years now and last had it set up around 3 years ago and has only covered about 3k since.
Should I take my car to be set up again or just keep servicing it, it drives and feels the same and its fine at mot on the emissions.
I last had it done a Harvey's (SCS) but someone said he is more into the bigger power cars like cossy's ect, not sure if thats true?

Could you recomend some good tuners around the lincolnshire area please.
Thanks

The car is modified and running 215bhp at flywheel.
