Speed Limiter Removal
Speed Limiter Removal in Chester
Some vehicles run a speed limiter that gets in the way, whether it is an aftermarket limiter left on a used van or a factory cap that no longer suits how the vehicle is used. Where it is legal to do so for your vehicle, we can raise or remove it cleanly through the ECU.
What we can do
We can adjust or remove a speed limiter through the software, whether that is an aftermarket limiter fitted by a previous owner or fleet, or a factory setting on vehicles where changing it is allowed. It is a clean, software-based change, with no cutting or bodging.
We check the law first, every time
This is the important part. Certain vehicles are legally required to have a working speed limiter, heavier commercial vehicles and buses in particular, and we will not remove a limiter where the law requires one to be fitted. Before we touch anything, we check what applies to your specific vehicle and how it is used, and if it is not something we can legally do, we will tell you straight.
Honest advice, not just a yes
A limiter is sometimes there for a good reason, and removing it changes how a vehicle should be driven and insured. We will give you an honest view on whether it is worth doing on your vehicle, and what to be aware of, rather than simply taking the job.
Common questions
Can you remove the limiter on my van?
It depends on the van and how it is used. Some limiters are aftermarket and straightforward to remove; others are legally required and we will not touch those. Send us your reg and details and we will check what is allowed for yours.
Is it legal?
For some vehicles yes, for others no. Heavier commercial vehicles and buses are legally required to keep a working limiter, so we check your specific vehicle and use before doing anything, and only proceed where it is legal.
Does it affect my insurance?
It can, because it is a modification, so you should tell your insurer. We will explain what the change means before you decide to go ahead.
