Hi all,

Wondered if any one has ever used a cheap diesel compression tester, like this one:
BERGEN Professional Trade Quality 17 Pce Compression Tester for Diesel Engine | eBay

its only 50 quid, but most others are around the £250 mark. Is it a waste of money??
Its not for my disco..its for a transit..sorry for asking on here!

If its no good send it back

but how would I know??

It may not be absolutely accurate with regards to the actual psi recorded, are they ever?, but as a simple comparator to check differences between barrels it should be pretty good.

Bergen stuff seems ok normally. I've got a few bits
