Has anyone found an air compressor for the tyres that is small enough to fit either in the battery well in the boot or the boot side pod instead of a first aid kit? Most of the Halfrauds ones seem too big.
Thanks

I got a cheap one from Index as it was at the time fits behind the panels in the boot. Its a bit shoddy but does inflate and combinmed with a decent pressure gauge it does the job.
It is very similar to the ones Total garages do you buy fuel and get this cheap kind of thing.

£5.99 petrol station one for me as well and it fits in the side panel of an R50/R53 with room to spare

Bloomin' useful it is too!

My Mini One Diesel came with a compressor - I have however seen one on Ebay a genuine Mini, think it went for about £15 inc postage! Keep an eye out!
