Default More power needed for towing CDT Auto 114 bhp

My 53 reg classic needs more power for towing my caravan, 1410kg fully laden. What can be done, and at what cost, to give the old girl a boost of power. I do not want to sell the car just for the sake of a caravan, but neither do I want to sell our caravan.
It is the basic CDT engine with auto box so hopefully I can give it more power to make towing easier.

My car is a manual and I have found the remap that no doubt Big Russ will supply has transformed the car. I tow a 5 birth caravan.

copy and paste every word of my posts that are in any way against a remap of the OP's car or a remap of the 113/115 engine, which is according to the title 114bhp. If I made a mistake I will correct it.

Posting a public message like this is not really needed is it ? Surely a much better way is to send Mike a PM if you have a problem so he can correct it, But I suppose it is to be expected

Hi

If you are coming to the East kirkby meet this year then a remap might be possible

Here we go again.
I respectfully suggest the post that was public that I responded to, is the one that is in the wrong. I feel I have the right to respond in the same way it was made, public!
If you read the thread referred to, you can then tell me if you think the post by another_clean_sheet is appropiate
I could be wrong, perhaps I did make a negative comment about remapping a 113/115 engine but I do not think I did.
I never meant to as I have never considered it a bad thing to do.

Exactly here we go again, I will not read this thread anymore as I have a wheelbarrow puncture to repair as one of my trees has fallen over and needs logging up
