I'm thinking of buying some of Gunson's products = Colortune, Eezibleed and Carbalancer from this site in UK http://www.mgocaccessories.co.uk/acatalog/Gunsons.html

Anyone want to join me and hopefully save on the postage costs? or does anyone know where in Oz you can buy these at similar prices?

I know you can get the Ezibleed or products very similar from your local Repco/Auto One/Auto Pro/Super Cheap etc. I got one, cost about $10-$15 I think. As for the others I haven't seen them in Aus. Might be interested in some stuff depending onmy financial situation :P

I gotta ezi bleed from The Warehouse, was $3.95. It works really well. I got my Gunsons Colortune plug and Carbalancer from some joint in the states. It worked out to be cheaper!

Got my new Colourtune from EBay UK for 55 dollars including post, works out about 10 or 15 bucks cheaper I think.

I like it, but really only to confirm the tuning.

Just spoke to some people at a place called The Elan Factory. Some kind of lotus specialists. They said a Colourtune is $69.95 + ~$10 for P&H. Their website is www.elanfactory.com.au and you can order online. They said they dont have any in stock at the moment but their next shipment is due in the next week or so. Might be easier to just order from them?

Pffft, 35 bucks more expensive than elsewhere.

6 days from UK to doorstep.

How about this one (check out the other stuff he's selling, Carp anyone?):

The Gunson one uses the air pressure in the spare tyre to provide pressure to the master cylinder and so it is a one man operation - just crack open the bleed nipple and shut off when the bubbles stop. Is that what you have?

Nah, mine is just a bottle with a magnet on it. There is a hose going to the bottle which has a 1 way valve in it. U just stick the hose on the nipple, stick the bottle to something metalic, then crack the nipple n give it a few pumps. Cause its a 1 way valve, it only lets fluid out, not air in. Works for me.
