Yeah my pump guage is crap. This is the exact digital guage I have but anything will do really. Its small enough to keep in the car at all times so you can get those hot tyre pressures as soon as you come off track ;)

I've always found Halfords compressors to be crap.
I was forever taking them back for a replacement under warranty. Fine for little top ups, but they can't do inflating of 4 tyres from flat, they just overheat, so they really are cheap crap.

In the end I gave up on them and bought this Michelin branded one because it had a metal heat sink so it cools better;

It's been brilliant, no problems with it after about 6 years. The LED lighting is really handy too (Halfords ones might have this now, but they didn't back then).
