There's certainly a lack of RRs up here! If you want a good job done, pop up to Green and Whites Minis in Houghton-le-Spring, near Sunderland. They have access to a rolling road I believe and theyre thoroughly recommended, not just by me

They don't. If you search for Green and Whites Minis on Google, you should find their phone number and postcode though. Let me know if you get stuck - I'll see if I can hunt it down

green and whites 01915840010 another recomendation from me. there is a rolling road in belmont (durham) cant remember what its called. they are more used to modern cars with ecu's and chipss etc. i got a 2.0 zetec on dellortos in a spitfire set up there about 3 years ago and they spent a lot of time playing with it to get it right. when i got talking to the operator it turned out he used to work at the now closed (i think) swift at peterlee they set up a 1380 mini for me to many years ago to remember. another good job

bad news guys Green and White don't do the rolling roads anymore i was up there a few weeks back and wanted it done and Ian said the guy that had the RR he used got shot of it as his business wasn't doing to well and they used someone else for a while which they described as S%*T so they cant do them anymore, however they offered me a standing tune on my mini which i must say i was mightily impressed with they advanced the timing etc and it felt like a different car after they had tinkered on with it, so if it is for a tune let them do there stuff without the RR and you will get what your after if its for BHP reading etc it a no go... there worth the trip for you though because their work is fantastic!

Was talking to Ian about the same thing, he recomended motorscope at northallerton or ron Harper an old school carb guru I used ron harper at his old place to set up some twin 1 1/2 many years ago and it was spot on

I got a standing tune when I was up at Green and Whites a month or two back. Took it for a spin after Lance had fiddled about with it and I was very impressed, so I'd certainly recommend that too.

I was also recommended Motorscope by someone else
