back in the day took my N/A for a stage 1 map after while on the dyno they said it had already had a remap and a very poor one at that so i paid my dyno time, noticed when i got home they had given me an invoice from 2 years previous showing the car had a TMS map on it from the previousowner so the "POOR MAP" was actually theirs thumbsdown

so i paid my dyno time, noticed when i got home they had given me an invoice from 2 years previous
showing the car had a TMS map on it from the previousowner
so the "POOR MAP" was actually theirs

typical bullshit then..

I would never use TMS, from the conversations ive had with them on the phone and feedback ive read on here over the years.. im supprised any VX owner still uses them tbh.

and im still waiting for my £200 manifold to appear aswell.

Good for over inflated labour charges! When I last went there for some help with a misfire I was asked - how long would you like us to spend searching for the problem we charge £75 + vat per hour. In other words how much money can we fleece you for? I allowed them one hour and they told me it could be the coil pack, or the AMM, or the ECU. That was really help fule and worth £90. Still they do have a BTCC enrtry to finance. So if your happy paying for that go for it! I drive mine 240 mile round trip extra to Courtenays instead. :rolleyes:
