B&Q were doing them for about £20. You dont want anything too high powered if you are using it on cars

If you buy a cheap one be prepared to only use it a few times.

Alluminium pump head will warp and if you live in a area of high limescale you won't be able to clean out the ally head as the limescale remover turns the head into cheese.

Also, best to get one which unloads the motor with the trigger closed rather than shutting it off, the on/off spike tends to trip the fuses easily.

Better off spending a bit more and getting one that will last.
