    I had my remap done by HLM and I drove from Luton and never regreted it.
    It is worth to travel further and get the job done by specialist and enthusiast.
    Hamish done as many runs as i wanted him to do cause i have lpg fited and i wanted to test it on both fuels before and after remap.
    Definitely will always recommend HLM.

    As others have said - shop around, HLM is cheap for a remap and sounds steep for the exhaust, suspension with alignment - does that include the springs?
