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

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

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-1...c9c56b8&pid=100276&rk=2&rkt=4&sd=252055696757

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

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

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?
