Thing is, when you join a forum, your always a bit wary, and, well, I decided to hide behind a username..

Since I seem to trust you lot (for some daft reason) then I thought I would "come into line" with all the other forums I use.

RIP Mr brick-yard.

Long Live Baxter (Simon)

Alas there goes my thoughts on a cross between a Brick ****house and a disused quarry.
Ah well at least I've seen your uncle Stanley on stage... :mrgreen:

PayPal is the most popular I would say.
My checkout is with PayPal.
Our fees are higher than yours though.
I get charged 3.4% + 20p per transaction, this drops to 1.9% if I keep £3000 in my PayPal account!
Heh, when can I ever afford to keep £3000 in my PayPal account!? (£3000 = $6000!!)

Good thing about PayPal is that most people have an account as most people use E-Bay, plus you can also use PayPal as a merchant and use their credit card clearing facility if they don't have an account.

Site was "affordable" and I'm sure the guy who built it (although into VW's not into Diesels, he has a Subaru EJ22 powered T3 syncro) would be more than happy to put you something together.

He will do as much or as little as you want, they just built my site and tailored it towards me, then I populated it, this kept the costs down.
I see you have quite a lot of "stuff" on yours but being honest I really struggle to find what I'm looking for on there.

I'm sure you will ahve someone local that could do one for you, I'm really happy with the way mine works and it's dead easy to bolt extra bits onto it.
The basic site is "Joomla" based, a opensource CMS, then you just add bits what you need and it all seems to work together, I have a virtuemart shopping basket thingy, but you can add galleries, forums and loads of other cool stuff, I can print out monthly reports for my accountant and that, makes my life much easier I have to say!

Oh, the 2.5TDI in the T4 is a brilliant engine!
not that you wanted to hear that!!
:lol:
I run one myself, a 88hp baby version, I keep meaning to swap the nozzles and get a re-map but it honestly have bags of torque and is more than happy to be loaded to the roof and, return over 30mpg on a run and sit at 80 with the cruise on.
we also got a 102hp version and the Germans got a 150hp version.
Theres plenty of people out there who are adding larger injectors and having a remap (and adding an intercooler to the 88hp version) and easily getting 170hp.
