Stage 1 remapping in Crawley
Moto Pease Pottage Services sits 3.8 km from Crawley on the M23, and Handcross on the A23 is 6.8 km away. Faster roads start close to home here, and they are where a diesel's mid-range matters: joining the M23, overtaking, holding speed without changing down. A Stage 1 remap works on exactly that part of the rev range. It is a software change to the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings, kept within the engine's limits, with nothing added to the car. At the end of June 2026, 27.1% of the 53,996 privately kept cars in the Crawley council area were diesel, more than one in four.

Driving in and around Crawley
In the 2021 Census, 47.3% of working residents in the Crawley built-up area drove to work and 5.8% travelled 30 km or more, both above the England and Wales figures of 45.1% and 4.4%. Households with two or more cars made up 37.4%. The A264 and A217 are also among Crawley's main roads, Horley is 6.6 km away and Horsham 11.1 km. The council area has 3,215 privately kept vans, 95.7% of them diesel. In 2025 MOT tests across RH postcodes, the Ford Transit was the most tested diesel van, with the Volkswagen Caddy in the top five, while the Volkswagen Golf led the diesel cars. For van drivers, the torque gain is most useful with a full load, and the clutch and gearbox decide how far it should go.
