Thanks for the info Chris.
I think this is a case of Sod's Law in action!  I bought an endoscope last Thursday on Amazon, I go into Lidl and Aldi every week to check out their deals!!!!  The one I bought cost 65 pounds and is made by Teslong with a lithium battery, 3 meg camera, snapshot and record onto a supplied memory card.  It had good reviews (5 star) so I just thought I'd buy it with my Christmas vouchers  .  It appears to be pretty good although not used in anger yet, that will be next week when I look down the bores on my Jota (Honda Jota  ............).
I'll give some feedback next week just in case anyone else is thinking of buying one.

Why would anyone want one, what are you to see ? or does it measure the bores and can it get in the con rods to see the state of the shells
Only way to see what is going on in a engine and that is to strip it down.

I just added one to the toolkit from Lidl, I reacon it could be quite handy for seeing inside a gearbox to spot if the selector dogs still are there - for those times you find debris in the sump - so often I find the debris relates to past issues that are already resolved, makes a stripdown into a waste of gasketts. Also it has hooks and magnet attatchments so you have a good chance of retrieving odd bits dropping into a sump or whatever if you can see it and get the hook in in one hit. It also crossed my mind it might well reassure buyers of my variety of old rotovators and hydraulic kit if they could sneak a peak inside the bowels of the machine as well as see it run.
Oh yes, and inspect inside frame or chasis rails to assess rust - most of my expirience of rotted chasis or frames seems to point to them rotting internally whilst not looking too bad externally, on both cars and bikes.

You certainly put forward a good case for buying one.
