OK, so I bought a VAG-COM cable so I could tweak my motor. I think I've done as much as I need to at the moment.

Was thinking that, as I have got a little Asus netbook all loaded up and in the glovebox, maybe I could rent the package out to people so they can do their own fiddling and coding. I'll do a 50/50 split with donations to the forum and to me. (Asus has clean Windows XP and just VAG-COM, so you just need a USB stick if you want to copy output or screenshots.)

This would be a massive "trust" thing, but if people are interested, then do let me know. I have no idea about cost or rental timeframe, so ideas welcome.

Good idea, you could ask for a high deposit and return the money when you get the gear back.

Cambridge area. Agree on the deposit thing, but trying to sort that out would be a nightmare. Could take the value of the kit as the deposit and then refund back less rent.

He's only right, I've met some top chaps, some of which have become good friends through helping people out, both here and on many other forums.  :smiley:

If it would guarantee you meeting top chapesses to help out it would be worth buying VCDS for that alone!!!  :grin:
