On board Air

[The Patrolman]

Been looking at decent tyre inflators / compressors.

Don't look too bad for the money:nenau

I use the air compressor from a Volvo with air assisted suspension, it pumps my trailer tyres to 65 psi no problem although it takes around 10 mins to inflate a nearly flat T2 tyre, but still not bad, have a look round your breakers or Ebay, Rick

Wonder if one from a td5 disco 2 would work as got a few mates who have removed air suspension from them

yep if it is 12v and not off the engine will be good, Rick

Remember with big tyres it's volune you want quick not pressure. So go for a decent flow rate. It's getting it from 0 to 15psi that takes time :lol
I have this one with defo get's my 35s up PDQ and still going strong after a few dunkings too :augie

I've got the same one, it works well.
I had a couple of cheep ones had to make a cup of tea while waiting, then they get so hot and cremated themselves.

Wow it looks the part with less plastic in the build. FWIW I have found one common problem with the pumps I have owned over the years and that is when I keep them in my boot they inevitably fall apart with the constant vibration excacerbated by use !

Best one I had was a £10 Black Spur unit that I bought from Donnington Market it lasted a good 15 years and foolishly I sold it with my Mini that had no spare wheel! I had siliconed all the visible screws to hold them in place.

Saw this on e-bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-Volt-12V-Air-150-PSI-Heavy-Duty-Compressor-Inflator-Pump-For-Tyres-Cars-Bike/361271908332?_trksid=p2060778.c100276.m3476&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%2 6asc%3D33333%26meid%3D3d51ac3f0c99450a971a91d99c9c 56b8%26pid%3D100276%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D2520 55696757

Id have to mount it into rear wing in side boot and maybe carry extra tubes for it to at least reach front wheels.

A lot of TD5 boys have converted the old suspension air compressor for the purpose of inflating their tyres

[The Patrolman]

As a Patrol..MAN I think £30 to have it turn up on my door step and work if I ever need it is ok:thumb2

Relying on a second hand part from an oval:nenau

Thanks for the input guys:thumb2

I will probably go for the one I posted and keep it in the bag until needed. I may attack it with some threadlock to reduce it all vibrating into a pile of bits too:thumbs

It's only the NSF that looses a few psi now n then so I'll probably nip back to the tyrebay that fitted n get it reseated :thumb2

Not sure that's a good idea. Everyone I know with air suspension couldn't get it to work, so why try and blow up tyres with a compressor that can't blow up your suspension?
