The highway code says you can exceed the speed limit when overtaking i have lost

count of the number of times i have accelerated to avoid trouble.

Fit larger rolling radius tyres when they need replacing.

99% of motorway traffic travels around the 75-80mph mark.

I spend between 4&6hrs a day on motorways and know how important it is to

maintain the same speed as the rest of the traffic.

Hi Mate,
Did you try VanTuner?
I have the same problem (restricted 1.9 cdti vivaro) would love a solution.

Thanks for starting this thread.

f you do not have key code for van you can buy "tacho vag 3.01/opel immo" and it will hack e.c.u to obtain key code of van (it will also do milage correction on binicals) which will save you getting ripped off by vauxhall/renault for apllying for key code.

Bull. This is antiquated software and and will not extract the pin. Renault Explorer, AVDI Renault Commander or ICC will get the pin. You can also access with long code on DDT2000. The only other other way is to read the dump from UCH and use BRAIN.exe to calculate it yourself.

Im in Peterborough and have Clip if thats any good to anyone. Clip will access all Renault Traffic modules and computers. Limiter can sometimes be lifted with clip though often the limiter is set into VMAX on the fuel map. Map can be read with Galletto for upto 2006 with Bosch C15C2 ECU or BDM for EDC16 ECU's as they are locked and require bench reading.

I came across this post and it looks like it has never been clearly answered:

Most Renault based vans have a speed limiter option in the engine managment system, the settings can be changed to suit the owner's requirements from 50 mph to 68 mph (From memory) or no restriction at all, this needs to be carried out with a professional diagnostic programming system.

If it has had a Siemens type speed restrictor installed, it will need to be professionally rewired usually it is hard wired through the electronic accelerator pedal.

Most Renault dealers that I know do not like changing the speed restriction settings and their software also requires the vans chassis number to be entered first which rules out Vauxhall or Nissan vans being worked on by them.

Also, the original Vaux Com does not have the special functions greyed out unlike the Chinese cloned version Op Com.

I hope this information is of use.

The Highway Code states that when overtaking a driver/rider should:-

"Move quickly past the vehicle you are overtaking,once you have started to overtake. allow plenty of room. Move back to the left as soon as you can but don't cut in."

It makes no mention of any requirement to check your speedometer whilst overtaking.
