Machine mart should do them, or screwfix.
Something like this would be fine -
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/32327/Electr...ool-Transformer
or
http://www.airlinktransformers.com/sitetransformers.asp
(first on the list)

I had the smaller 750Kva? I think,. it was rubbish the PC would bog down very easy with that. Uprated to the 1Kva and that seemed to help, but to be honest 110Volt polishers just don't cut it for me ... pun intended
I am sure you will get a great job done on your car, please post pics of your detailed motor in the s2000 clean club thread link in s2ook's sig, and mine.

err I think the PC is under 400watts though
look at the Amps I think its 3.5 and times that by 110v to get watts
I have the same issue as all of the stuff I own is american for the most part and I live in a british home.
I have 2, 2000 watt converters, a 750 and some 75s from the base
I usually use my pc at a friends house though

buy two of each, meguiars buffing (yellow) and meguiars finishing( beige) you will also need some compound, megs 83 and 80 should do the trick. There is an excellent thread by Dave KG on detailingworld, I will see if I can dig it out.
