Thanks, I'll have a search for one locally

They are common, but beware of the ones that come with a dozen adapters -- I've never had any luck getting those to seal on a 944. I have the one posted above and can vouch for it fitting/sealing. If you can't find that one, look for one with a rubber bladder like the one below. You pump the bladder up inside the neck so it too works in the 944 -- you just need to pinch off the overflow hose with the bladder style... A good pressure tester is a near-must tool for all self-respecting 944 DIYers... Worth buying and owning...

Cheers, I'll try and find the Bosch one. Years ago I worked at Lola, and like most guys there I became quite a tool collector.
