Pressure testing - where can I buy the kit?

Post by neckarsulm » Wed May 20, 2009 8:42 am

Done as much as I can to my car now so the final thing is a pressure test.
I could visit a specialist and get it done but I'd like to do it regularly and have a compressor handy.
Have looked for place to buy the kit but can't find any in UK.

Can anyone suggest where I can buy one?

Thanks

Nothing on ebay and AWE are in US. Emailed UK supplier, Regal and no response.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks Jimbo.
DIY seems the only option or order from USA.
Any ideas how large the pipe needs to be to go over the Y pipe inlet?
