Sharpshooter:
Hi all, a little while ago im sure i read that someone had used an air conditioning pump as a compressor. Is this possible, and if it is can i fit it to my 2.5 nad?????? :D

cstokes:
I agree, i have seen soewhere that someone use an air conditioning compressor as a compressor. However an a/c compressor needs a supply of oil which cirulates around an a/c system with the gas. So i don't see how using it as a compressor is possible as it would dry out and seize.

muddyweb:
Depends on the unit.  Some of the earlier RR units had an oil reservoir.  Some of the later ones can be fitted with a grease nipple to lubricate the bearings.

It's a lot of fannying around unless you have a real need for it.   If it's just for tyres, then a decent 12V compressor is a lot less hassle.
