Still waiting for mine
Mind you I did opt for the free 2-4 day delivery service, so maybe get some pumping done tomorrow
Let us know how yours gets on with your series 3

I recently opted for the T-Max compressor (smaller of the two versions they do) with 75 l/min max flow and 50l/min at 30psi. Was £56 Inc next day delivery. Very good too, quiet and well made it seems to me. Fits in it's bag with hose snugly under 3rd row of seats foot well.
Went for this as 3 cars needed checking and took me 3 garages and a 5 mile drive before I found a working air line and then it's at least 50p a time.

Got over the farm where the Series 3 is stored today. 2 flat tyres and the others half flat, connected it up and away it went. Very quiet and very fast ! Job done in about 5 mins
I am sure you will be very pleased with it.
I went for the standard delivery and got it next day - so l'm not sure what they do for the express delivery option, unless they have a retainer on the RAF in these hard pressed times

Great Mine has still not arrived, no pumping today
The courier notes did say delivery by the 3/2/11, but I guess I am in more of a remote area, being LONDON, capital of the country!
I'm sure it will arrive tomorrow, so will set alarm clock early, don't want to miss it But then again I will have to wait for the wife to get home to do the pumping for me while I watch, don't think I will be able to get down to the wheels easily

They probably shipped it via Ryanair to London Cargo Central, that small airport a few miles to the north of Cork... Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Wow! That must be the quickest unknown group buy yet', I am getting quite excited now from all the feedback from those that have theirs already
Did everyone else who has theirs already go for free delivery? Seems London delivery is at the back of the pile
Any more comments such as quality, weight, hose length, adapters, bag, size e.g. Would it fit in the spare battery box under the bonnet?

Thanks for the heads-up Discotres,
I've just ordered mine and it's due for delivery on Saturday
I've been trying to decide which compressor to buy and by sounds of it this is the best 'bargain'.
Thanks One Wife.......Livid

Mine has just arrived!
I didn't bother doing a video of the unpack as I was too excited, anyway, it is well packaged with good quality hoses and brass fittings. I have run it using a battery booster pack and it purrs away sitting on it's rubber legs, none of the cheapo bouncing about stuff you get from the ciggie lighter fitting ones. It is solid but not that heavy, I will try fitting it into the spare battery bay later and update here.
2 YEAR GUARANTEE
Just a note re it's warranty, rather than throw away the packaging, in the very end of the cardboard that surrounds the pump is a leaflet for the warranty, on the back it shows how you can fill that in for a free further 12mths warranty making 2yrs total, this can also be done by completing a very quick and easy form on their website here http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/guarantee_form.asp?cat=15
Further info:
Up to 3x faster than a standard compressor
Inflates tyres in less than 90 seconds
7mtr coiled flexible hose
Durable storage bag (also room for some tools)
2 years guarantee
