Under the seat seems to be a pretty common defender compressor mounting location.

Are you going to run the tyre inflation kit off the compressor also?
I would consider somewhere more accessible if so :)

What size compressor? I have the small one under the drivers seat in the front of the box. Still room for first aid pack etc behind it. They do get hot.

Mine has an airline plug on either side of the box plumbed from the compressor so I can plug my air hose in an fill either side tyres with ease. No need to access the compressor. I can post a photo if you like but will have to take one first.

Sounds like a great set up, a photo when you get a chance would be tops.
Under the front seats is out of the question as there both pretty full.

Mine is plumbed to an outlet each side of the box too, just inside the rear doors, no need to access it, just hit the switch on the dash, it's pumped up to pressure by the time I've pulled up. Even has a little air receiver and cooling fan in there.

Have a look here at mine. I squeezed the ARB air locker compressor and the bigger ARB compressor under the drivers seat. The bigger ARB compressor runs to a large air tank under the drivers sill with an air line attached to the rear cross member.

My compressor got banished outdoors after the ARB airlocker in the rear diff pumped the cab half-full of diff oil. It is now mounted on the l/h chassis rail immediately behind the cab, with airlines plumbed to each side under the tray.

Mines in the engine bay on the firewall to the driver side of the brake pedal box. Quite tight but surprisingly doable.

I had mine up under the cab at the back between the chassis rails in the centre against the angled back of the cab. kept the noise outside while it operated to fill the tank that supplied my air-horns.

My ARB compressor and 10l alloy air tank is mounted under the drivers seat. I have an outlet plumbed at the front of seat box. With standard ARB air line will reach all four tyres on the D'fer and even back to the camper trailer.
