Besides physically comparing the values in the map to the standard map with the same tuning software used the write the map in the first place of courrse

Think how high our premiums would be if insurance companies did that everytime there was an accident!

They said............ £25 which is just an admin fee , it wouldn't increase the insurance premium. My insurance runs out at the end of August, so I've got a few months left - Angel here I come!!

I bought my 156 V6 off of a copper from Salisbury,

Would a P-box be a bit more noticable them a re-map when getting quotes for insurance?

I think a P-box would be the safe option, as if you did crash the car you could just whip it out.

Autolusso sell P-boxes, if you don't fancy getting a remap without declaring it to your insurers then a P-box could be the way forward for you. Money-back guarantee if you don't like it too, plus the chance of a lovely fish & chip lunch if Ned's in a good mood, or so I've heard

I was reading up on the P-Box's, I can't remember if its the sport or the normal one, but, you can adjust the power up and down so if you want more power you just have to turn a dial, jump in and away you go, power mad and no diesel left, ha ha.

Or you can go the other way, tone down the power for better fuel economy...

I imagine you're fully comp on your insurance right?

Which means if you crash (touch wood you won't), whether its your fault or not, the insurance will have a good look at your car..

In which case, I'd be a lot more at ease with a P-box I could just take out.. They are adjustable yeah, but watch out for the cheap replicas on eBay.. Get it from an reputable place that sells them.

I would have mine fixed through AutoLusso, I wouldn't fit it myself. I used to work alot on my Rover cause if it broke was cheap to fix, with the 156 it goes to the garage and I don't touch it, ha ha.

Well, if I do crash (touch wood I don't) lets just hope the P-box is no where near the point of impact...
