Thought about one of these: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-9391.aspx

Not the same kudos as a slime etc, but at that price ......

I have the slime, not cheap but fits under the seat nicely and seems to take the knocks so far, no gauge though. Can't imagine being more pissed off than having a compressor under the seat all that time then when you go to use it it doesn't work :angry:
