Thats cheap as chips!Originally Posted by Keithy P38
Its hardly worth messing about with it at that price.
Probably 7-8 years ago I pulled my compressor motor apart, there was an enormous amount of crap from the brushes and armature floating about in there.It was a bugger to get back together from what I remember.
My compressor runs on a manual isolation switch and has done for best part of 8 years.........the compressor I thought was dead is still going...LOL.
You might have a stuffed bearing?

Thanks guys. The compressor side has new seals and cylinder and the rubber bushes are fine but for £150 + delivery that sounds like the way to go for peace of mind. The wife is giving me "that look" everytime she sees me poking about the engine bay seeing as I've only had the car for about 6 weeks!
The compressor is still functioning ok but it gets ridiculously hot so just concerned about getting stranded if it decides to pack it in.

At that price I have just ordered one my self.
Well hate to tell you this............but she will give you that look plenty while you own a P38.

They do run hot when they cycle a fair bit (on uneven terrain for example). I have two EAS compressors running my system. Not because one is dragging the chain! As I regularly take my P38 off road, I'm airing up and down frequently so I thought it a good idea to mount and plumb in a second one.

I think she's just a bit sceptical the RR was really bought for family activitiesAt that price I have just ordered one my self.

Mine's getting very hot (too hot to touch) just sitting in the garage. Great idea mounting a second one - good confidence booster as well I'd imagine. Do you have pics of how you set it up?

I do. There's probably a thread in here with pics somewhere! I'll try and find it.

I pulled the drain plug out of my air receiver and put an air out and inlet fitting into the plug. Well its just a tubeless tire valve, its handy though, if you need to put air back into the system or if you want to do a quick inflation on something.
AT REST
Similar thing to mine. I've got a ball valve off the tank, air lines front and rear with quick connect fittings.

Just closing the loop on this. I received my new compressor from Island 4x4 and it runs up to full pressure in the tank and stays quiet as a mouse.
When I get a chance I'll pull the old one apart to see if I can work out what the issue was as it'll be a handy spare.

Glad you got it sorted mate, enjoy the luxury ride ;-)
