Surreyvr6 199 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 You can get them for about £50, not sure how good they would be though. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 For the amount of times you're likely to use it I'd be inclined just to get a garage to do the test. paceo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
