Do you think the single is strong enough to inflate a paddle board? That was my main reason for going for a double compressor. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Oh Moo I don’t know mate. I resemble a paddle board but have no experience of one. My wife’s Fiat 500 tyres (185/55/15) were way down (15 should be 32 🫢) so I came to the rescue by getting my hose out. When attached via the ARB digital tyre inflator banged the pressure up to full in less than 10 sec. They’re small tyres by comparison to the 130 but it surprised me. The compressor itself is a very sturdy bit of kit with a real quality feel. Not cheap but a feeling of good value none the less. I have to say I’m chuffed with the job and the great performance of the unit. 24MY D300 130 X-Dynamic HSE Santorini Black

"I came to the rescue by getting my hose out''
I can just see her face...... ![]() Anyway, I think I'll go double. Probably over kill for the few times we'll need it, but its belt and braces so should be OK. ![]() |

I had a real problem with the pressure control system and replaced it via the supplier. I refitted the new parts yesterday and had exactly the same problem. Has to be my fault.
Stand back and it was so glaringly obvious I thrashed myself with a birch branch! The chuck was mounted on the manifold as below. ![]() Click image to enlarge It has to be mounted on the Pressure Regulating valve as below. ![]() Click image to enlarge Now I have presets for normal driving and towing for both front and rear. I plug the hose into the chuck and attach it to the tyre valve. It then inflates/deflates to the preset pressure without me bending my poor old back. It then tells me on my phone when it’s done. The cost is ridiculous but that’s what birthdays are for. 👍🏻🥳 24MY D300 130 X-Dynamic HSE Santorini Black |

Hi Moo I had a tyre compressor in the car mainly for the occasionally inflatables and found it slow. I was then shown a high flow pump by a fellow beach goer it was only a cheap thing off amazon which delivers air volume over pressure specifically for large inflatables it inflated a large dingy and paddle board really quick. The tyre pump took ages and got really hot doing so. I'll try and find the link, was only about £20. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE RR MY23 HSE PHEV D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold D4 MY12 HSE - Gone D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten |

I’ve had the cheap compressors and I had a £100 Ring 900 unit which worked well. The issue with that was the on off switch is on the compressor but the pressure gauge was at the tyre. You had to pump over and switch off to see if you’d pumped to the right target pressure and if you hadn’t you had to switch on again and guess at which point to turn it off again. Not a problem if it’s next to the compressor but a royal pain if it’s the other side. The ARB unit is super quick and ready to go. Just plug the hose into the chuck and it’s pumping tyres. The double must be incredible. 24MY D300 130 X-Dynamic HSE Santorini Black
