I ordered a coupler/bush, to adapt from some female metric thread to 1/4″ BSP male thread of thew air line. I guessed it was M10 ish thread on the inflater thingy. I guessed wrong. It was perhaps M12. I don’t know, and now it doesn’t matter anyway. The metal filler stuff, similar to plastic padding came out and resolved the issue permenantly.
After driving the Land Rover on the beach the other week, I was prompted to think about my tyre pressures. I could easily reduce them but of cause re-pressuising them is harder. I had in mind that I could added a quick coupler to the air system that is used to operate the diff and then I’d have access to about 5 liters of 100 psi air. I had previously purchased a coiled air line and a tyre infalter thing, but hadn’t thought about how exactly I’d do it. In the end I just got on with it and did it. Done. One full tank will do one tyre from nearly totally flat to 20 psi, it’s unlikely that my tyres will be that flat, but the compressor will have to run at least a couple of times to do all four tyres.
