On Board Air

<< < (3/3)

paul and sam:
ref air jacks  does anyone think that i can use a two ton air jack to lift a disco to change a tyre or to get it out of a hole ? many thanks

doris:
I seem to remember that any lifting kit..........  ropes chains jacks etc had to have a x5 design safety margin?

winchman:
Dont forget you are only lifting a bit of the car not all 2 tonnes of it.
I think they are fab, wish I had kept my big one. :(

AbyssDJ:
i was reading a site about onboard air a couple of days ago.. god knows what it was now - detailed how some guy made a setup for his 4x4... was quite good

lrmike:
I think you mentioned in your parts list, but remember the AC compressor on the Disco does not have an oil resevoir of it's own but relies on oil in the refigerant it is circulating.  Think of it like a 2 stroke engine.  If you don't have a closed system (like the standard air con) then you definitely need a way to oil the compressor or it won't last long.

I fitted a setup to mine made up from bits of a RRC - tank and all.  The tank is great for this as the CFM of the compressor is a little low by itself.  I can even run an air gun for brief periods!

Good luck!
