Anyone know anyone in the midlands that can do this? I have a sprinter with a limiter that I want to remove. It's a 2010 313cdi. I can take it to mercedes, but god knows what they'll charge. Thanks.

Anyone with access to a STAR computer will be able to remove it.

Our 2013 313 is limited to 75mph and I've no idea if the limiter interferes with the map on the van but it struggles to do the same speed up the same hill empty as my fully laden, non restricted 2010 313 managed with ease

A Mercedes truck dealer won't charge a lot for it. It's probably 15 minutes labour.

Thanks for replies. I called Mertrux today and they will charge £70 for removal which isn't too bad.

Flat out down hill from jct 37 goin north 110 regularly. Grew up and thought on was driving like a berk. But being a spotty oik at the time is no excuse.
Most you'll find me doing nowadays is 75/80 on motorway it's more than enough.
