[AB]

Not getting much response marc and I can't help you here....Can anyone else???

[Woof]

Hey Marc, I have a ARB compressor under the bonnet of my Q also had one one the old GU cannot fault them but they are a bit expensive, the reason that I have and had one was to run the front lockers.
Looked for the receipt for the last on but cannot find it.
There are a lot of portable compressors out there but don't know what they are like, ARB do make a portable compressor but again I do not know how much they are.

I've got a magazine at home which has tests and results on a dozen different compressors. I'll dig it out when I get home next week and post some results for ya.
From memory the ARB one did pretty well.

[marc b]

thanks guys for the info. I have been told that arb ones are the best.

Has anyone heard anything about the ones on ebay. They are offered by a 4wd retailer on there. They look pretty inviting, going by the tech data, and they're red.

Hey Finly Owner, havent heard anything on the red ones, but have a mate who has one of the duel piston 150L - 12V- Heavy Duty air compressors he got it off ebay for $99 and hasnt had any dramas with it. Doesnt pump like the servo, but have seen it pump 8 tyres without cooking, took around 30mins.

Cheers Pete
