Yes, I know, get the Mrs to do it - well done, everybody, on that one!

What I'd like to know are your recommendations for the best piece of kit to buy (foot pump,; compressor; etc.) for getting the job done.

Needs to be easily available, too, please. Is something from Ar*g*os good enough or are there better places to buy from?

Whilst I think of it, is the supplied jack good enough or should that be swapped out too?

And, no, I'm not going to ask the IRA to blow them up for me, either...

get a foot pump double preferably, dont bother with a cheap electric one At work

I use the one from the company 'Smart' car, fits in the boot nicely

Though the Smart car driver would be if they got a flat

My brother got a Michelin one, with digital readout, enter the pressure and it pumps it up automatically, checking with my digital pressure reader its accurate as well (if mine is) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If you look at the offroad suppliers websites, you can get small, but robust electric compressors for about £20, much better than the plastic offering from argos.

There is a review of small tyre compressors on the Auto express web site. I bought Halfords brand as it came out tops in their test.

has anyone bought / fitted the "D44" LR air compressor ?

Basically, it's a LR air compressor that's permanently fitted - so you simply connect an air hose to inflate your tyres (after an off-road activity, for example).

It's a bit pricey - but convenient - has anyone got one ?

bobbycrispbox on disco3 has a built in compressor, 240v power output in a box he built in to his D3

He might be able to offer a review if you need one Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I use a joe blow bicycle track pump for car and caravan tyres, robust durable and easy to get spares for

I use match when deflating caravan tyres  At work

I have a Halfrauds 'high volume' model with the old digital gauge built in.

It works well and I have to say has had surprisingly little to do in the lifetime of the FL2.

There has been very little 'natural wastage' and of course the great plus point is that no adjustments are required for towing  Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

Thanks very much for all the advice.

Being an "analogue" person I went out with the intention of buying a heavy duty footpump, which I did.

I did like the reviews you directed me to of the Michelin Hi-Power Rapid Inflator (very well built and lots of helpful features) but at 56 Euros I decided against it.

Until, that is, I spotted one being sold as a kit with a torch, tyre depth gauge, overalls, etc. in a "canvas" holdall - for 20 Euros less..!?!

Must have been a left over Christmas special. Either way, I bought that, also, so now I have the best of both worlds - a BF Footpump, to impress the girls with my calf muscles, and a "push the program button and open a beer" one for lazy Sundays.

Cheers
