who'd a thunk?

Too a bit of different workings to find this - wish the search engine worked more like google!! Thanks all for the posts & links! my problems are solved!

I have an moisture/oil trap on my outlet but still find it blows a lot of oil at higher revs which the oil trap cant cope with. Most of this oil is probably residual compressor oil and not I suspect from the in line oiler. The inline oiler is probably sufficient to lube the compresser - so it might be worth draining the compressor before installing it.

Anyway, the inside of my rims arent going to rust.......

I currently have an onboard air setup inder my 300TDI which I have been testing for the past 6months. Hopefully the link below works and you can see the setup. Can't remember if the photos show the old guard but any the sytem is fully guarded. Alum tank has been replaced by RR air suspension tank and is closer to the floor.

This system has also been adapted and successfully fitted to Defender 300TDI. There is a post in the defender section of the forum.
