Between all the VOC members out there, is there an agreement which RR company in UK is currently the leader/best?

Everytime I read a thread about Rolling road tests in forums, it is confusing. There are cooling fans, data that can be manipulated etc.

I would rather take my car to a sound RR centre run by folks who are in the know. Give me accurate numbers even if its below expectation.

Hi Ashok,

thanks. So to sum up from that rather long thread, Power engineering is good enough for me too. Figures are reasonable enough. I plan to get the car on their RR in March. Would be interesting to see how it will fair.

Hopefully by then, I can have a softloader software for the V50 and then do two runs, one without upgrade software and another with.

eric

ps: Thanks Des for the linky. you seem to have mastered the index for this forum.
