Its clear that after all the tinkering we are going to need a rolling road test but.. after a fair bit of ringing about it seems theres nothing local.
Does anybody know of any in my area and of the costs involved.

Im having my Z3 superchipped with rolling road test but the guy says he would not put a mini on a test for a million squidlies,

any ideas?

(to try to help and not stir things up i promise)

i believe a compamy called Autotune is established in lincoln.. if they dont have a rolling road they should be able to at least give you some local companies which do

no, they could not help. They also said minis were a waste of time.

Lemme see if i can direct Edran to this.. hes in lincoin and is keen on his tuning.
gimme 2 ticks

im shocked that MBE said it was a waste of time!! He did mine when it had the A series in it.
Are you sure you spoke to Mike? or did you contact Paul Goy Racing (who actually owns the rolling road) Mike just uses it/rents it.

There is also Expert Test and Tune (very close to MBE) and all they do is tuning (as opposed to mechanicals).

There is PRP Autos in Waddington, they have done mine and my brothers minis (although different engines).
