Hmm, might have to message the seller see if they have a idea,
All the other kits I have seen come supplied with a 14mm and 18mm adapter but this is different I think..Hmm surprised it ain't been asked before
You can buy adapters for compression tester's at most car shops,
some stock 'Sealey items which are a tad expensive,

I know my local screw fix sells c/t's and adapters but there all out of stock
work out what the plug thread 'MM' is.
and then you will be able to find something 'suitable,'
if its 14mm look at 'Gunson's. eg here, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/compressi...iagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1c452e9225

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

That ain't bad, was gonna buy a compression kit for a 10£ off eBay and then 12mm adapter for 5-6£ but might as well buy this whole set

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?
Thanks

This wouldn't interfere with the results?
Do you happen to know what to do with regards to the injectors and coil?

nah,. not if you just coat the thread of the tester,
something's screwed in there can wreck spark plug thread,
nowt worst than that,
