Stage 1 remapping in Royal Sutton Coldfield
Close to half of households in the Royal Sutton Coldfield built-up area had two or more cars in the 2021 Census: 45.9%, against 26.7% across the Birmingham council area and 35.4% for England and Wales. Only 15.3% had no car, less than half the council area's 31.7%. Where one of those cars is a diesel doing the longer trips, it is the natural one to consider for Stage 1 remapping. The change is made in software, to the fuel, boost and timing settings, and it stays inside the engine's limits. One practical point for homes with several cars: the insurer of the car being remapped must be told, even if the others stay as they are.
