Air Compressor
Hey all,
I like the idea of having an air compressor in the car. The unit that comes with the car can only be used to push the goo in the tires.
The problem is finding a place to store it.
I just found this unit that might be of interest to some of you guys. :
It's a nice unit, but even more interesting is the fact that it fits perfectly in the compartment between the seats:
Keep in mind that the space available in that little nook varies between cars. I think it depends on your sound system.
This is the space I have available in mine:

I have tested the supplied compressor without goo and as just a tyre pump and it worked perfectly OK.
Of course being just 12V it would take a while to fully inflate a really flat tyre but I reckon it would get there eventually, and it could turn out to be no slower than the one you link to.
And I store mine in the cubby under the floor in the hatch, along with a bunch of other stuff.

I just thought it was funny how well this unit fit in that little compartment.

My boot/trunk/hatch is completely empty 99% of the time.

The Jaguar supplied inflator that came with my car works fine without the goo as a regular inflator. I believe it’s normally kept behind the elasticated strap against the left side in the boot/trunk.
However its its great to have an additional storage location inside the vehicle as I was looking for somewhere to store my lithium battery booster. The trunk/boot and glovebox would both be inaccessible with a dead battery so it’s currently behind the seat. I’ll try this cubby hole tomorrow, thanks.

My primary lithium battery is indeed just a bit smaller than a regular battery, and has the great feature that it shuts itself off if drained down to a level that will still restart the car with the mere push of a reset button. However, if the battery shuts itself down, the boot won’t open to give access to the reset button. This little gizmo will actually start the car, but I only need it to power up the boot hatch from under the bonnet.

Pull on the top near the sides. It doesn't require a huge amount of force and the clips definitely won't break because it's designed to pop on/off easily, unlike most trim pieces.

Pushidun K24S: Reasonably priced (~$35), compact carrying case, charge indicator, has all the attachments to charge iPhone or Android devices, can be charged from the lighter socket or any USB port. 500A Peak 10000mAh, plenty to fire up a 3.0l engine. Marko will have to weigh in on how it does with the V8.
