I have an ARB compressor under the bonnet, so far very reliable but not the quickest.
I have heard of someone using an air conditioning pump they picked up from the wreckers and transforming it into an air compressor. Very similar speed to an endless air.
Spoke to my mechanic today and he said they use oil to stay lubricated and cool, this could possibly cause deteriation in my tyres.
Has anyone else heard of this been done as a possible cheaper alternative to an endless air?

From Outerlimits
"SADEN 508 " or a "
YORK 210" air con pumps have a sump and do not require lubrication.
Lots of tech on it here
