    Help urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello All,

    NEED the mot doing for my car very urgently or the police will take it away and possibly crush it.
    Used to take it to EUROSPEC2000, but any phone numbers for them are coming up as incorrect to check and dial again.
    I have sent them a message on facebook but no reply.

    Can anyone recommend me a someone who can retune/map and get the MOT done PLEASE? I live in the South London area Purley so someone close to that area or can drive but not too far.

    Message me here or my mobile 07985347847.

    Any help is greatfully appreciated.

    Thanks, Gerald.

    Hi John, thanks for the message.
    Yes, i guessed that they might be closed down. no response from any of their numbers or face book page.
    When did they close down? Any idea why?

    you can get an MOT anywhere. Why does it need mapping first?

    Sorry just saw your message I have a garage that does my MOT friend of my son Dean,as Tim said why do you need it to be mapped ?
    The only thing I have a problem with is the emissions and that’s what I go there for but it is still a proper MOT so can still fail
    But never has

    Hi John,
    Remap is required because of piggy back ecu to control fuel and extra boost. I have fitted bigger turbos, pressure regulator and intercooler. When I last drove it was burning fuel quite bad. Ben at eurospec2000 did not remap the ECU properly.

    The mot garage down the road from me is fully booked for next 2 weeks.

    Hi Gerald,
    How did you drive it after it was done by Ben ? If it was running so bad didn’t he try and put it right ?
    I do of someone who could tune it but you would still need to get it there but it is in Surrey I am at Carshalton not far from St. Helier hospital you could just try another MOT place maybe ?

    Hi John, just saw your message on here. I guess knew he was doing a runner which is why he did what he has been done. I used to live in Carshalton! How does your friend do the remapping? Does he have a rolling road?
    My almeras engine died. some sensor broke / burnt out! so had to use the VR4.

    Hi Gerald,

    What mods have you done to the car?

    The MAP2 ECU, whilst a good solution a number of years ago, is made mostly irrelevant nowadays, as we can flash the standard ECU, so as long as all the original parts are still there (mostly the MAF), switching back to the original ECU should only be a case of reconnecting a few wires under the dash.

    That said, any half-competent tuning company should be able to adjust the MAP-ECU whilst the car is on a rolling road to get a reasonable tune on it which is close enough to the ballpark to get you through an emissions test for MOT, which will then give you some time to get it sorted properly.
