Stage 1 remapping in Nottingham
Trent Bridge Services, on the A6011, is under 4 km from Nottingham, and two more service areas lie within 8 km: Trowell on the M1 and Pierrepont on the A52. Diesel is common here: 34.1% of privately kept cars in the Nottingham council area run on it, the 13th highest share of the 104 largest towns we cover. On a diesel, Stage 1 remapping is felt as mid-range torque, which shows when joining the M1 from a slip road, passing a slow lorry on the A52 or climbing without changing down. Your insurer must be told, and a car with a fault is repaired before any remap.
