    Thanks for all the replies.

    This particular car has a security box fitted under the centre cubby so an X Box is probably not for this one.

    I agree, a reservoir tank is a good idea and I'd already thought about that. I'm more concerned about where to fit a compressor, the tank can be remote and fitted where convenient under the car somewhere.

    Cheers, Murray

    Hi Murray,

    I have a Big Red Compressor. Not the fastest on the market these days but blows hard time and time again. Never cut out and I have done 6 tyres without overheating. (Helped a mate out as his compressor was way slow).

    It is mounted under the rear seat on the passenger side. It is mounted on its side. I just plug the hose kit in when required. I have a 4L (from memory) storage tank almost directly mounted underneath the car without affecting any clearance issues.

    A couple of pics below.

    I've mounted an ARB compresser in the drivers side rear wheel well. Its mounted on a bracket attached to the rear crossmember, and is protected by a lexan shield, its been there for 60k kms so far without any issues.

    Cheers,

    I've just been looking at the Piranha website and they still sell the Big Red compressors, along with a few others.
    If you read comparisons between compressors, I think the most important thing to note is, duty cycle. There is a huge difference, for example, the Big Red will puff away continuously for 6 tyres, but the Terrain Taimer TTAC1 will cut out before even inflating one 33" tyre (that's what I read anyway)

    After a bit of a look online, there are quite a few compressors on offer, like everything these days, it can get a bit confusing.
