Im booking hopefully next week a full diagnostics session on rollers at hi-tec in cradley heath, black country. Any one in the area wanting to share?
we'll have a gay old time.
the one hour can be split into 2 halves. 25 quid each. sorted. suppose ill only need to mention it to em when booking in and that should be fine with them. yar or der nein?

where are velos? ive chosen hi tec mainly cos it'll only take 20 mins or so to get there from where i live. not sure if i want to spend a day driving to and from a roller.

its not like u have to drive there everyday, its a one off to get your car set up and get 100% from it, if i was you id go further afield :D

p.s. ?50 an hour is a fair rate

as for sharing, i doubt your car can be 100% set up in 30 mins.........

even mine took 45mins and thats a simple single carb SR at the time :P

will

Unit 2 The Old Forge,
Chapel Lane,
Anslow,
Burton on Trent,
Staffordshire.
DE13 9QA.

turns out velos just as close. Burton is about 20 mile from me. ill give 'em a call -visited website and as you said novanutter they dont fill me with confidence quoting it 'should' be diagnosed within the hour. hope it doesn't go on to cost too much.

come off the a38 at the burton junction(not claymills)
head towards tatonhill,
stay on road until you reach a staggered cross road and turn right,
stay on road until you reach a staggered cross road and go straight over
about 3/4 mile down that road you will see a sign for anslow and then a s bend, turn left on the s bend on to chapel lane.
the unit is on the right.

when you get to a t junction it means you missed it.

they charge ?40 first hour and ?30 every other

i'm booked in on wednesday to get my new twin 40's set up

and what exactly do you expect a ?50 rr tune to achive?

nothings been touched since the head was rebuilt. any cylinder head conversion is not complete until it has been set up. im not bothered about brakehorse power just want/need it running optimally. thats why people go to rolling roads isnt it?

yes but there isn't much they can adjust... would be better off with a normal rr tune not a ??? one

its an injection engine, you just need the co2 level/timing setting which ANY garage would do for ?10.
