Do you carry a tyre pressure gauge in your rally bag? If so, what type do you carry and is it any good?
At one time we never carried a gauge. The service crew set the tyre pressures at service and that was good enough. Then drivers started carrying gauges and checking tyre pressures at stage arrivals. Nowadays drivers expect me to have a gauge (and to check the pressures). Why this has changed is a mystery to me.
I have tried a number of gauges over the last 2 or 3 years. Admittedly these have been cheapo junk bought from fuel stations etc but they have all been poor. Unreliable and not very accurate.
So any recommendations? Ideally I would like something that is: - Accurate - Reliable - Reading in bar rather than PSI - With a light so I can use it and read it in the dark

Very much the same as yourself really , in the respect the service crew set the tyres at our desired pressure. We do check the pressures after the first road section just using a ordinary gauge bought from a garage. We only have this as a reference more so than accuracy . The pressures are always checked at service from then on. Myself I have one of these which I keep in my car seems to do the job very well. Tyre guage
