Stage 1 remapping in Stirling
Long commutes stand out in the Stirling locality. In Scotland's 2022 Census, 9.2% of working residents travelled 30 km or more to work, well above the 4.9% across Scotland, and 20.7% went 10 km or more, slightly above the Scottish 20.4%. For anyone covering that sort of distance in a diesel, Stage 1 remapping makes the drive more relaxed: the engine pulls harder from low revs, so overtaking and climbing take less effort and fewer gear changes. The change is made in software, adjusting fuel, boost and timing within the engine's limits, and nothing physical is added. Any change in fuel use depends on how you drive and is modest at most.

A Discovery pulling a trailer on the A9 is the kind of job where extra low-down torque is welcome.
