I have found a local place (Quattro tech in St Ives, Cambridgeshire) that offers Stage 1 Revo remaps for my FL Octavia. Price seems very steep to me (£718.80 incl VAT!)

Am I better off making the trip to Mansfield and getting a Shark remap done instead.

I think you certainly would be!

without any doubt whatsoever IMO.

I concur.

Thank you. The only advantage to this place is that it is 5 miles up the road from me but I can't really justify paying over the odds for it!

You could buy a shark sts. Take a look on their website. Would save you a day and a trip to Mansfield

There's some nice roads twixt there and here if you plan the route well. You probably deserve a day out with the car.

As to the map? Worth every penny.

Journey home? Priceless!
