Have a look inside the vent space at your back left quarter panel. There is plenty of room for your compressor there. Nice spot but you would have to run power there. The location was made for the rear fuel heater for European diesels

Is that space still there if you have rear A/C?

My compressor gets rediculously hot under the bonnet.

Happy Days.

And now I know where I will be installing my compressor!

There is an always on unused power cable behind the drivers taillight

and the aforementioned spot will be very dusty

That's where mine is. I ran power up from the Anderson plug that I fitted to the back of the car for our camper trailer. With the cover on, you'd never know it was there.
