Is a non-branded Ebay special like this to be avoided?

Can't really find much otherwise.

If you are handy with pipe and fittings you could probably knock something up for less money.

I made up a contraption to pressurise solar panels with heat transfer fluid. It basically a pump up garden sprayer, some 10mm pipe and various fittings. I you could adapt a spare rad cap to attach to 10 or 15mm copper, it would be easily done.

I probably could but I'm lazier than that.

I bought one of those kits a couple of weeks ago just to check a Peugeot. Used it a couple of times after rectifying water leaks and changing water pumps/hoses etc. Works really well but the cap for the Pug I originally bought it for doesn't fit as well as I'd like it to.
