Did you get this sorted, Jay?

I believe that it cannot be done! I have heard stories of trader's less experienced staff setting the speed limiter as a joke then finding the only solution was to pay for a new ECU as the limit can only be lowered NOT raised.

BUT I guess the companies who do ECU re-maps would be the folks to contact.

Research i have done sugests you need to remap ecu. Pendle can do it but may need to go to their main base.

With vcds you can only reduce not increase.

Maybe a remap in the future because this 102 is really under powered.

I recently bought an ex British Gas Caddy van that was limited to 70.
I had it removed, back to standard by Martin, here Vantuner.com | A more professional van tuning service
I think it was about £100
He did offer to remap it for a bit extra, but the van was for my 18 year old son, so I left it as standard.
I did speak to him about remapping my Crafter which is terribly under powered, and he seemed quite clued up.

What's it restricted to?
We used to run a fleet of Merc Sprinters that were restricted to 71mph and I found them actually quite dangerous on the motorways when you overtook cars with BMW's and Audi's barreling down on you!

Couldn’t they pass you using the 3rd lane?

All my company vans are restricted to 68MPH and the lads are always complaining they are dangerous when trying to overtake. My answer, Don't try and overtake then.
Save a fortune on fuel.

That was in the 3rd lane. You know what motorways are like these days. Inside for lorries, middle for the uneducated and outside for the other 90%.

(but I did get what you were referring to)

Prob is those so called motorways with two bloody lanes.
