Hi Just was looking as I have one but does not fit my zx12 engine.
One day I my get the alternative glass spark plug.

So in the mean time, you're welcome to borrow it.
Looks like your location is in the same county.
Just U2U interested.

What engine is it? Car carbs or bike carbs?

Re: your colortune not fitting a bike engine.

I think you can get adaptors for the smaller plug size for a few quid, here:

Aha! No good offering my bike carb tuner and colortune then cos they're for bike carbs / plugs...

And I would offer mine if I had one but I don't - I'm using the adaptors I posted a link to on a gunson compression tester.
