Air Compressor

G'day Johno
I would suggest you have a look at Max-Air. Probably a few bucks more than $150 but a good solid unit which I think is Aust made (at least I believe it was when we bought ours about 10 years ago). It has performed faultlessly over this time so I'd have to back it.
Plenty out there to choose from, but do yourself a favour and steer clear of the cheap crap. I believe there's even a Chinese copy of the Max-Air but I understand it uses a plastic piston.

If in Brissie go to Sunshine State 4WD (near Archerfield airport).
Elsewhere, find a Don Kyatt outlat and see them.
No affiliation blah blah - just a happy customer.

johno,
I have an ABR Sidewinder compressor and have used it extensively. I had one problem after it ran out of warranty, which was the relay. I pulled it down and replaced the relay which cost bugger all. This unit for it's price is very well built.

It is a bit dearer than $150 but a great performer.

Johno, I've got a Dr Air Pro-Flow 150L and can't fault it. One thing for sure - it's fast. It hasn't given me any trouble but then it hasn't copped a flogging either. It's the one that was voted the best in 'Australian 4wd' when they did that big comparison a few years back. I bought it from Bursons and I think it cost about $290.

I've got an ARB "CKMA12" permanently mounted in the engine bay of my Landrover and it's a beaut, worth every penny.
cheers

When ALDI have a special on, the 150L unit looks exactly teh same as aDr Air and costs $99.
I have one and given it quite a bit of work plumbed into a tank and it is excellent.
As far as I can see the ALDI is identical to Dr Air but has only a 1year warranty compared to Dr Air 2 year.
