I have the above pump and it's OK in the pumping department.

Recently the gauge has stopped working. I'm planning to take it apart and have a look. Just wondering first if anyone knows if it's an unserviceable item before I waste my time.?

The gauge is a sealed unit once it's out. Lifetime warranty on Blackburn stuff so you could just try that, If you have no luck with where you boight the pump it's also worth trying Blackburn directly; they sent me a brand new pump despite CRC saying they couldn't do anything.

Edit: possible it could just be the little o-ring though that seals the connection between gauge and pump.

It's a pretty cheaply made pump, that air tower but also fairly dismantlable. I had a problem with some claggy grease in the valve head of one of mine, if that same stuff got in the gauge pickup it could cause trouble so I think I'd dismantle and have a look.

I didn't know about the guarantee! Good that

Cooksons in Whitefield replaced mine when the head went - they said Blackburn were very decent to deal with.
