Default Car tyre compressors.

My trusty old jump start pack which also has a tyre compressor died.
Didn't owe me anything as it had a lot of use as a compressor over the
years. But annoying in that I'd recently fitted a new battery - and it's
the gears between the motor and compressor which have stripped. Motor
still runs, so I'd guess the compressor seized.


With mine it was the piston in the compressor that came loose. So I
bought a twenty quid compressor and run it from the 12V socket on the
jump start thingy. The gauge is accurate I believe. It's in rough
agreement with the one in the £70 inflator I have for the motorhome.
