Could anyone out there please refresh my memory as to the name of manufacturer of the piece of kit used to test for head gasket failure, by looking for carbons ( hydrocarbons perhaps ) in the coolant system ?
Thank you, Pete

For a one-off test its not a cheap method of doing it. I would get a garage to sniff it with gas analyser probe.

Thank you both for your replies. The reason I ask is because I have had several occasions in the past six months, where having such a device would have been useful, so perhaps it is time that i actualy had one. Will check out B Bros in the morning and I now understand that SP make a device which checks by reading pressure on a guage, though this is more expensive to purchase in the first instance.
Thank you again, petel
