Get a car with a bigger engine.

Great little engine, but It is what it is. You could spend £300 or so on a remap that would get you 10 bhp or so but I doubt you'd notice much improvement on hills. 

Overall, a swap of car would be logical (and would avoid insurance hassle with modifications), but you'd probably want to avoid the 1.0 Ecoboost if you've read the threads on here. A diesel might be worth considering - they're usually good hill climbers.

Understandable thanks for the advise 

Hi.

If you have any issues with insurance at all for any modifications then please feel free to drop me a line.
