Speed limiter removal.

[Transit460Camper]

Hello all.
We have owned our 2017 Mk8 for a couple of months, but due to lockdown only did our first lengthy trip yesterday.
Only then did I realize it has a 65mph (ish) speed limiter.
I guess this is a good thing as it will not have been thrashed (hopefully!)

Spoken with our local Ford dealer who have quoted £127.02 to remove it.

Has anyone gone down the removal route, and is this a realistic cost for removal?

Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you!

I had mine done by Ford but only after the logbook was changed to a camper that was 3 years ago so not as dear you could try one of the tuning firms when having mine done it was mentioned that some busses it can not be removed

When Ford did mine it had a taco and it recorded the distance traveled in kilometres the van Speedo didn’t record the mileage they had to transfer it over to it .

I'm sat in a re-map place ATM and these guys can't figure out how to remove the vmax. I think I've wasted my time. The map is ok but I wish I'd have read this post earlier.

I'm sure Martin Vantuner can do it, but he won't do it if still a bus.
