Stage 1 remapping in Bexhill-on-Sea
In the Rother council area, which takes in Bexhill-on-Sea, there were 117 privately kept vans for every 1,000 privately kept cars at the end of June 2026, well above the England figure of 81. Of Rother's 6,190 private vans, 92% ran on diesel. That makes Stage 1 remapping as much a van question here as a car one. The change is made in software, to the fuel, boost and timing settings, and stays within the engine's limits. On a loaded van or one pulling a trailer, what you feel is stronger torque low in the rev range, so it holds a gear on a hill instead of dropping down. Gearbox and clutch limits matter on a van, and they decide how far the remap should go.
