I just thought if im gonna use it once, no point in getting an expensive one, if that one will do the job. Im also assuming it has the right adaptor to fit the spark plug thread.

I have one you can use Groover. PM me.

isn't it funny how on these forums you can inadvertantly fix someones elses problems by posting about your own !:sneaky2:

 

right anybody near the ayrshire / glasgow side that i could borrow one from ?

 

:helpsmilie:

Sorry jaikai, you could use mine but would cost more to post it then buy your own.

lol, no worries !

 

Glad groover can now get a hold of one easily !

Just go to your local motor factors get one for about £15

lol at the replies. Many thanks for the offer to borrow one, i wont be needing it for a while, but when my new engine is finished and in i will give you PM.

 

PS dont hold your breath any time soon lol

Archie has a decent one Lee. That red boxed one from ebay is chronic, it works when it feels like it and gives inaccurate readings when it does work lol.

I've got one of these. Not sure how accurate it is with regards to the actual figures but I bought it to check differences between cylinders and it worked OK - showed a problem with the middle 2 cylinders on a citroen xsara which turned out to be a blown head gasket. Haven't tried it on anything else yet but it was a bit awkward on that citroen - having said that I remember the spark plugs were particularly difficult angle to get at. Will perhaps have a go on the zed tomorrow :)
