    However, scuba republic are no longer, so where do I get a test done near me at a reasonable price, or shall I just sell my 7 Ltr bottle as I have a 12 sitting here with full test.

    For testing I use Parwin Scuba at Manor Farm, Glatton, Huntingdon PE28 5RR.
    Closed Mon and Tues. Open Wed, Thurs, Fr, Sat 08.00 - 16.00; Sun 08.00 - 12.00 Do not do 'while you wait' as the owner lets bottles cool down while filling.
    They have a web site.
    For fills only I use The Country Store, Pampisford, near Sawston, Cambridge. Can do a 'while you wait' fill.
    Cheers, Phil

    Thanks for the info, bitof a trek from me so will try the mk one first.
    For fills I use sporting targets, £6 for a 12 ltr bottle so not too bad, am used to paying a fiver on my 7 ltr one.

    I do keep toying with the idea of my own compressor though.

    Well blow me down, lived around here all my life and never heard of them, but your right, they do fills, so guess they will do re tests as well.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    We used to use them some years back as we fill undercarriage legs with high pressure air, they tested and filled our bottles, they where a PITA to contact, but my old boss used to take his kids into school in Bedford so he would pop in there. Not been there for at least 5 years now.
