Stage 1 remapping in Chandler's Ford
More than half of households in the Chandler's Ford built-up area had two or more cars in the 2021 Census: 53.9%, against 35.4% for England and Wales and 48.4% for the Eastleigh council area. Just 10.3% had no car. When a household runs two cars, one of them may well take the longer trips, and that is often the one worth considering for Stage 1 remapping. Fuel, boost and timing are adjusted in the engine software, within its limits, and nothing is bolted on. A diesel gains mid-range torque for joining fast roads and overtaking, with fewer gear changes. Tell your insurer about the remap before you drive on it.
