Just reading over an old thread on here (2005), some chap did a compression test on his 99 1.2 16v and he said his 14mm didn't fit and that it was 12mm..maybe I should trust this fellow member from 9 years ago :D

Try Amazon then,

So tester due to arrive tomorrow, just thought I'd post up how I think I should perform the test (correct me when I'm wrong) :

Warm up the car to operating temp

Remove 4 sparks, thread tester into first spark hole (left side),

Turn the ignition on, fully press throttle in and crank for 5 cranks,

Mark out each 4 readings, repeat with 5ml of oil in each plug hole for wet test.

Now before you correct me I know that the fuel system and electrical needs to be disconnected to a certain point -- reason I haven't included as I'm not sure which way is the best: would I pull the fuse for the fuel system and pull wire from coil pack or can I disconnect the crank sensor, etc? :D

Thanks
