Stage 1 remapping in Lisburn
With the M1 on its road list and Lisburn Services just 2.1 km away, Lisburn puts motorway driving close at hand. If you tow on the M1, or regularly carry a full load, Stage 1 remapping is felt where a diesel works hardest: the extra mid-range torque makes a trailer feel lighter and means the engine holds its gear when traffic speeds up, instead of needing a downshift. It is a software change only, to the fuel, boost and timing settings, kept within the engine's limits. Fuel use may change a little depending on how you drive, but no saving is promised, and your insurer has to be told.

For a car doing that commute daily, the extra torque mostly means less work for the driver.
