Common Speed Limiter Scenarios We Handle

Ex-Fleet Vehicles

Many former fleet vehicles from companies like British Gas, BT, Royal Mail, and delivery companies are programmed with 50mph, 60mph, or 70mph speed limiters. We can remove these restrictions to restore full functionality.

European Sports Cars

High-performance European vehicles often have a "gentlemen's agreement" limiter set at 155mph (250km/h). We can remove this restriction for track use.

Commercial Vans

Light commercial vehicles including Ford Transit, Transit Custom, Transit Connect, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, and similar models frequently have factory-fitted speed limiters that can make motorway journeys frustratingly slow.

Motorhomes & Campers

Larger motorhomes and campervans often come with speed restrictions that can be safely removed or adjusted.

The Speed Limiter Removal Process

1. Vehicle Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive diagnostic check to assess your vehicle's current speed limiter settings and overall health.

2. ECU Access

Using professional diagnostic equipment, we access your vehicle's ECU via the OBD port—no invasive procedures required.

3. Software Modification

We safely modify the ECU software to remove or adjust the speed limiter settings according to your requirements.

Your vehicle is tested to ensure the speed limiter has been successfully removed and all systems are functioning correctly.

5. Documentation

You receive confirmation of the work completed, with before and after details.

Why Speed Limiters Are Fitted

Speed limiters are typically fitted for several reasons:

Fleet Management - Companies install limiters to reduce speeding tickets, lower insurance costs, and improve driver safety.

Fuel Economy - Some businesses believe limiting speed reduces fuel consumption (though modern remapping can achieve better economy without restrictions).

Market Differentiation - Some manufacturers fit different limiters to the same vehicle model for different markets or customer types.

Safety Regulations - Certain vehicle classes have mandatory speed limiter requirements in some jurisdictions.

Insurance Requirements - Some insurance policies require speed limiters, particularly for young or commercial drivers.

For private owners who've purchased ex-fleet or restricted vehicles, these limiters serve no purpose and can be frustrating on motorways and A-roads.
