    ARB Compressor mounted in D4

    Today I decided to mount the ARB compressor under the bonnet for airing up after hitting the beach. Took only 15mins to get up and running. Got one 8m hose in rear 1/4 panel trim pocket and the other 10m hose under the rear seat. Cover does go back on when not using Air Compressor..

    That looks great mate that's exactly where I want to put mine, but the CKMA model. Did you have to move any wiring? I want to put the stock plastic cover back on as well.

    Regards

    Just had to make a bracket for the glow plug relay and moved it across to the skirt, near the horn! Didn't disconnect any wiring!!

    Cheers

    Hi Rollin Over

    Looks good nice fit, just two things to concider though the air line apears to be leaning upwards so sand and other cr*p will end up in your tyres, a cap may be a answer. Also the ARB sawitches are not good with water so a water proof switch may save you driving really slowlly to the servo.

    Sorry mate maybe I should have mentioned that the cover goes back on so no concerns with any of the above you mentioned.

    Cheers

    Brilliant, OL quoted me 1-2 hour labour to install, I noticed you have said 15 mins? What is the key for a quick setup?

    Being a Auto Body Technician I tend to do a lot of wiring and installing different equipment to my 4x4 and caravan etc it really wasn't that long of a job, and when you have the tools and know how.

    would you be able to describe how you mounted the compressor? what did you bolt it to & how?

    thanks in advance.

    I have mine mounted in front of the battery tray on a peice of flat aluminium, It is bolted to the 2 bolt holes already there.
    It is then bent down a little. I removed all the excess wiring from the loom that came with the Compressor as i will never use it.
