engines not too bad if fed on super unleaded and serviced every 10,000 miles...20,000 miles between oil change way too far imo

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

So, thinking out loud again  ::)

Should I only be concerned of a failed / failing FPR if I get some dodgy pressure test results? Or is there a specific test for the FPR?

Sorry if ive missed it where someone confimed

Due to budget I ended up purchasing this kit....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-injection-pressure-test-kit-for-schrader-test-fuel-ports-by-BERGEN-AT271-/141238161649?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160

Does what it says on the tin.

I tested the Omega.... bang on 45psi (around 3 bar) at idle. Gave it a few revs and it just stayed there. Also after switching car off I checked and the pressure went down to about 42. But importantly it stayed there meaning my pressures being maintained

... didn't really know what other tests to do?

Fair enough mate. I think it'll be pretty useful more for ruling problems out rather than finding a bad part. Although having said that it may just sit in the garage like my compression set. Either way... got it if I need it  :y
