for about 30 quid, an auto-stop one with a preset/guage would be handy. small enough to leave in the boot. (I do)

Thanks for the reply - I have never had much luck with 12v compressors LOL
I have had 4 of them over the years,i have had various probs with reliability,blowing car fuse and 12v plug melting - I was thinking maybe a 240v compressor ?

I've had a few and they all packed in. I've got one called ring it can stand on its side and lie down flat. It's lasted me now 8 years and still works fine. I use it a lot for different wheels on cars also bikes as well.

I've got the analog one there about £12 and work great. There also a digital one for about £22

Those cheap black ones for 4.99 and 9.99 are just crap they all look the same and don't last. You see them in petrol stations and supermarkets there crap.

I've got one out of a Mini, switch died so I hard wired it but that's lasting well, had it a few years

I had one out of a mini aswell, used it 8 times a day everyday for about 10 months in till I accidentally ran over it only bought the car for 50 quid so pumping up tyres everyday was better than spending money

Thanks for all the feedback everybody
I have been a little tied up with other stuff lately but eventually got back to thinking about tyre pressure.
I am getting a Ring 750 for chrimble - it is a mains compressor as I am usually unlucky wiv 12v plugs etc.
Looks ok and has a little storage bag !
