Thread: Compressed Air Access

Don't!

Just use a portable - leave the vehicles to itself.

As Tombie said.

Try cycling your suspension from access height to offroad and back a few times and you will soon realise that the slow to rise message comes up after only a couple of cycles. This shows that the system really has little excess capacity and the air required for tyres is a lot more than the suspension.

Carry a portable compressor.

Portable it is. VW allowed compressed air access on their V10. it was a great feature and ideal for airing up. it just kept weight down and no need to carry 2.

Thank you for the feedback.

I believe there is a kit available to access it. But spending a bit of time reading here will lead one to the conclusion that the compressor is one of the weak points of these cars and it's probably a better idea not to mess with it.

Get yourself one of the ARB hard wired/under bonnet units - they work a treat ... just ask the TWO Toyotas that I helped with their tyres on my recent high country trip - the look on their faces when they had to accept help from a Landrover owner was priceless - but they did say "thank you" (albeit sheepishly)

Hi I was wondering where these could be mounted in a D3. There looks to be room in front of the main battery. If I put it there how should I mount it?

Here 'ya go ...

Thanks, looks good.

Purchased the same compressor today, will fit it behind fridge on homebrew fridge slide. This keeps it clean and free from dust for long service life.
