Those Mityvac things look great but they cost a fortune here. I just bought a vacuum gauge for 12 euros and a few connection pieces with a bit of tubing. It is better than nothing. (I'm keeping an eye out for a Mityvac thing though - when the price is right I will pounce!)

Oh yeah I agree with funola about a leak somewhere (if that helps)...
