Air tank is connected to the 12v compressor i placed just under it, then i'll route 2 air pipe going to front doors and another pipe with reduced pressure (let's say .8 bar) to the winch to pressurize it, so i can do wading without warring.
I did set the air system pressure to 7 BAR so the compressor can handle it without problems...but i can connect any tools i want, it has got fast disconnect all around.
In the mean time i have sealed the winch control box and i am going to test it underwater for a while before install it.

If you're worried about water ingress into the winch box fill it with Magic Gel:
Discovery 3/4 & RRS keys cut and programmed at your home or work
Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto retro fit - see it here
BAS Remaps/ EGR Blanking
Software updates/ enabling

Thanks for the advise for Magic Gel, but the box is simply sealed with a special silicon, already tested 2 days underwater...i hove the Disco would not need to stay "underwater" for so long!

...TWO wheels badly bended.
The truck did it great and i can be only happy of it, the only problem, as we know, are EUCs, in fact after a diagnose at LR dealer the find out about 80 errors...2 very bad (in red):
- speed sensor front DX wheel
- suspension sensor right SX
...now all the data included my pics and video of the disco "digging" on sand, have been sent to LR Italy to be verified and hopefully get a solution.
asap i'll post pics and description of all the works done.

really like where you mounted the switches -centre console is very sensible and effective, and looks great.
