A friend (non-PHer) has some suspected intake leaks on his car and could do with the services of a garage with a smoke tester to pinpoint them. Anyone know of a garage with such a device in or around Aberdeen?

I did this myself using a smoke pellet available from b & Q. Using an empty paint tin with two holes drilled in the top and some plastic tubing. One hole you can pump air into the tin with smoke pellet in it using a tyre pump and the other hole take the tubing and stick it into the inlet side of the engine. It worked a treat on my old 205!
