Comfort charged me £15 Admin Fee when I fitted my VAD smartbox.

I had to send details of the box I was fitting, they informed Norwich Union who underwrite their insurance, and was told it was OK to fit the box

I think you mean OutdoorBits

Just to clear up confusion Alex chipped my car and I was very impressed with the results so agreed to resell the product to my Peugeot website users Smile

Just removed Smart Box from my 2.8 jtd 2003 when I drove to the dealers the difference was amazing!thought I had left the hanbrake on.The box is now surplus to requirements (sold van) if anyone wants it make an offer and it's yours.Pity about Van AAken as I wanted a smart box for my new van 2.8 HDI will have to start searching for a company as good.

Hi Yorkshire pud
i can offer you the steinbauer power box,which in my opinion if you want to go along the line of fitting a box instead of a proper remap is a very good product,it works by increasing the injection timing rather than connecting onto the rail pressure sensor like the cheap boxes on the market.
Regards
Alex

Thanks for that Boosters - I have still not made any decision on which course to take, but rest assured I will contact you when I do.

I wrote an earlier thread explaining a particular problem with a VanAaken box (purchased for my 2006 2.8JTD) which VA couldn't resolve - they took the unit back and refunded me.

In its place, I bought and fitted a psi Powerbox and have never looked back - problem solved in one and it does what it says....! Can't recommend highly enough as a well satisfied customer.
