    Actually I just checked again and I was charged €6.05 for 2, Is there a paypal charge.

    Btw it's not actually important, a quid won't break me, just wondering?

    It's a tax of 21% put on with PayPal, never saw it before but I'm not too pushed, a euro extra doesn't bother me.

    Should that not be 23% VAT? The old figure was 21%.

    Are you going putting that in the peugeot?
    What car is that turbo out of?
    Also is it not going to be bad for the car putting in bigger turbo's than it is rated for?

    Oh goodness no, that's not going in the 406, too big..... Or is it..... I'll reveal all in due time ;) last item on the shopping list is a scavenge pump, over to the bike forum/ask some lads I know into bikes where to get one.... Wait I need a wastegate too :pac:

    Besides, the 406 has an oversized turbo anyway from a 3.0 Mercedes, no problems with it for everyday use ;)

    That Holset isn't from a car either :P

    Deadly! You need the sledge out the bulkhead to fit that in the pug :).

    That's surely out of a truck. Looks nearly as big as the one on a V8 catapillar.

    Anyone see that seat arosa that done a bit of drifting on the M3 just before dunshaughlin coming from Navan.? It looked like it went sideways from the overtaking lane back across the road through the pull in/parking area and half way up the bank. Mad looking.

    Quick question and it's probably a stupid one. Just filled up with Diesel and when I looked in the filler neck after it was full the fuel looked grey and cloudy. Is that normal :confused::confused:

    It was Topaz fuel if it matters.

    Invested in a set of replacement vw emblems for the keys of the golf. As although the keys themselves are fine they are the normal vw 3 button flip key they are missing the vw emblem. It just makes them look tacky or something and was annoying me. Cheap fix anyway :)
