Default ME7 Fuel Pump timing - sussex garage?

I've read there are few places that can sort this. Does anyone know onw on the south coast/sussex ? Recently bought an auto Me7 2.5D classic, and only returning 46mpg on long motorway cruise. Was expecting more like 50.

46 is about right for this car. I get 43 with mixed 50/50 motorway/windy road driving on a 30 mile trip each day.
