I've never heard on here a bad word ever said about NMS. If it helps I spoke to Karl's brother at a car show and he was very friendly and his car was very impressive.

Can't fault Grove as they always offer great service, but have to say, they don't appear too keen on putting stuff on not supplied by them or if they think its not worth doing.

Simply cannot fault Karl @ NMS

His after sale support and advice is top notch too

When you leave he will give you a recipt/invoice and on there will be a list of things to fix that he found wrong with your car, which I also think is brilliant

Having driven a couple of cars mapped by NMS, and also having seen a wideband on them, I would have to say I would have total confidence in going to Karl, he clearly knows what he is doing.

You wont go wrong with Grove. The reason Mark might not sound to interested is there is only 2 of them in the work shop, if he spends all day talking on the phone he gets nothing done. I have spent a day down there with him and i lost count the amount of times the phone rang.

Theres only 3 people i would trust to map my car. Ahmed, Stu@MSD, and Dave Walker, the latter wont touch shonky old Cossie management though.

You could wait until the next Blackpool piss up and make a weekend of it. Stu transformed a TDCi I've driven and it was like a different car.

this is what mark told me bout blues being a nicer injector to map in plus my turbo can only go up to 26psi max so light blues will be perfect
