As for £400 AC TIGs, are you sure? Mine was £1500, and it was the cheapest I'd seen. Surely those are DC machines, and therefore no use for aluminium.

Positive e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WSE200amp-AC-DC-Tig-Welder-new-unused-purchase-/280749748927?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3338775852512928489#ht_500wt_1170

Bah, edit button!

Anyway - I just realised that's an auction so could end up much more than that. However, here's a BIN one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-DC-TIG-WELDER-ALI-S-TEEL-UK-SELLER-last-few-329-/160661839190

Like I say, though, I'd be very hesitant buying a make I've never heard off from eBay.. but yes, they're more like £1500 from Machinemart, etc.

Had a go at MIG today after a mate of mine had welded up the (giant!) hole in the Nissan .. actually not as hard as I thought it'd be at all, made a reasonably good job of welding some plate together well enough to stand up to beating it with a hammer on my fifth or sixth go at it.. good fun, too!
