United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

I see all that with a £25 buy it now. Just seems a little cheap.

Could buy it and even if you only get the accessory kit it's not too bad.

Though to be fair, it does look like it's everything.

The kit is normally about that price on its own.

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

I had a small compressor on 240Volt great for using the air wrench (I'm missing that here as I gave the compressor away) on motorbike sprockets (I just did the chain and sprockets of the B-King and really miss my compressor).

If you can find a cheap one for a decent price, I suggest to get it as they are quite handy to have around. The 12 Volt compressors are great for topping up but may overheat after a while (well the one in Nigeria did). The big compressor can of course last a lot longer.

It all depends on what you want to use it for. The small 12V is handy while travelling and you need to top up the tyres (in Holland and Germany I noticed that you have to pay, same as in Nigeria so the small 12 V pays itself back in no time).

If you also want to use it (sometimes) for cleaning, tool driving, the bigger compressors are great. Compressed air is still one of the best ways to get things cleaned out once the caked stuff is loose. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I know. But it's what I use as I don't have to start the car up and drive to a petrol station and use their line that has been thrown about by everyone and is prob not calibrated properly.

My 12v smaller one needs silly amps and is heavy on the battery without the engine running. Don't want to start the car from cold just to check tyres.

Do you chaps use the one at garages mostly then ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

That looks posh Stan.

Does it do fancy stuff ? What's the buttons for ? To change units ?

I use a Halfrauds digital one for checking. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I bought one of these

I have a few cars to do not just the FF so it makes sense will probably put in a fixed connection point in the drive and can use the air for blowing out crap when stripping down components and cheap enough

That will do the job.

I have had no issues with my 2hp version.

I also got a free air staple gun, plus the free 5pc accessory kit, which when I costed it up, looked like the compressor cost me just over £40. Well happy with it.

You never get free kit free of course !

I use the spare compressed air in it after I've done my tyres to clean the dust out my Dyson vacuum...... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
