| Mitchell Bros Off Air Kit - any good? |
|
Hi
Just wondering if anyone has one of these and if they are
http://store.mitchellbros.com.au/discovery...f-kit.html
1) any good
2) likely to survive off roading in the cold and wet of the UK?
Many thanks
Apologies if its on here somewhere already but all refs to Mitchells I can find seem to be about suspesion and towing. Tony

I looked into these. Quality bit of kit that would handle your conditions but the cost made me go with an under bonnet mounted unit. Thou shalt not let moochers into thine hut

Why only suitable up to MY2007...? Anyone know...? (Just curious). The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

The early D3's had a removable bung on the front of the air tank, this is where the Air Off kit attaches.
I have the kit and made up a guard to help both protect it and keep some of the crap off it.
I also extended the outlet to up in the grille so I attach my airline there.
It's great for pumping up one tyre but runs out of air when airing up four tyres from say 24 psi to 38psi. 2014 SDV6 HSE White, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Tuff Ant Sliders and 18" steel wheels, Safari Snorkel, Rhino Rack Platform, ARB Air Compressor, Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

Hi all
Yeah got one, what a pain in the knees it is to plug in the airline, normally on rocks or dirt when I want to use it, also it placement is right behind the front tyre, so had to make some protection for it. In the end ran airline to under the bonnet for easier access, so my opinion is ____________
