Does anyone have experience of using a rolling road facility? - Found one near me that charges £70 per hour plus vat - is that dear/cheap/ about right?
Cheers ANdrew

I used a few in and around London and they all cost about the same £60-£70 per hour but that was nearly 10 years ago!

In the current economic climate I would say £70 per hour including the expertise of a properly versed tuner (rather than just the rolling road by itself - one to be wary of).

Thanks folks, went and had a look-see, this one specialises in classic minis so mostly do stuff with SU carbs. Most of their customers are enthusiasts without mega-bucks to spend unlike the last place I looked at where every car was £30k plus. I'll go back and have a longer chat with their dyno/tuning bloke and see how he is with webers and keep you posted. Cheers

I used to use rolling roads to set up my hillclimb car but gave up due to cost and inconvenience. I Bought a wide band Lambda sensor and data logger from Innovate instead so I can watch engine characteristics real time (almos)t.
Generally I download and examine the data graphs and can make adjustments accordingly.
