Stage 1 remapping in Brierley Hill
Five towns lie within 4.2 km of Brierley Hill: Stourbridge at 3 km, Kingswinford at 3.3 km, Cradley Heath at 3.7 km, Dudley at 3.8 km and Halesowen at 4.2 km, all measured in a straight line. With neighbours that close, short trips between them are likely to be a large part of local driving, and that shapes what a Stage 1 remap should do here. The aim is a car that answers the throttle sooner in traffic, pulls away cleanly from lights and reaches the speed limit without working through every gear. A diesel showing a DPF warning is repaired before any remap goes on, and the remap itself stays within the engine's limits.
