To be honest, no.

If it was my car (as this is what I do), it wouldn't matter how far I had to drive to get the service I required.

Coventry isn't that far, and Backpool's not too much further.

Use EA mate, paul comes highly recommended, don't believe all the hype

because occording to passion ford

secs NEVER deliver or answer there phone
EA ALWAYS map every engine to DET like crazy
madrod DOESN'T hold the top speed record
msd & nms ARE the only 2 mappers in the world(this isn't a personnal dig by the way)
s2 martin DOESN'T look like minty from eastenders
and that is just as starters!!!!!!!


Paul is no better or no worse than any other tuner on here...he maps engines and he maps them well

I wouldn't knock his mapping, as I have had no cause to myself.

I wasn't happy with the technical diagnosis of my engine NOR the quality of the service NOR the price. The work on my car had been rushed and not tested.

I won't bother going in to it all as the above pretty much sums it up enough

Paul himself seems like a nice guy, nothing personal.

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!

Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.

My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!

Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.

SECS.. For a man who must be very intelligent to do the job you do you dont half fly off the handle for no particular reason at very simply posts by people.

Read posts correctly and and you would have seen what pugo meant. Cant put my finger quite why you always do this.

by publicly doing what you have just done, paul hills is legally entitled to sue you for defammation of character and when the court ask you for your personnal reasons for your attack, what you going to say, well these other blokes told me so!!
even if you got the support of the guy that owned the engine in question, the judge would ask you ' how this impacted you
what u gonna say then?????
from the way you publicly attacked secs on here i am suprised simon didn't take it further as well, i certainly would have

you may feel by slandering everybodies companies it makes you ' the funny guy' some of us feel that it is abusive and very offensive


i personnaly think its disgusting and will post no further on this subject
