I had mine pop out after not installing it properly following a strut change. No damage however! I thought it was going to be difficult to do but it turned out to be quite simple.
There's an install ... |

A 3ft length of rubber hose in your ear will help in pinpointing the source. Be careful of moving parts.

I was envisaging a simple, capillary type gauge, or a vac /pressure gauge, which is a very useful, cheap diagnostic tool, nothing special!

I presume that if one were to visit Clarksons Farm shop in a FFRR it could legitimately be claimed " as seen on Clarksons Farm".
