Replacing Tyre Inflator

[HazardLights]

Hi,

I cannot think of any reason not to act but thought I would check first... I tried the complimentary MG4 tyre inflator and I'd have been better off asking a geriatric asthmatic with an aspirating chest wound to inflate my tyres. I assume the emergency kit will work with any tyre inflator and I can just replace the one I carry in the car with something a bit more effective than a bicycle pump?

Love,
AWOL

Was the connector on tightly - the inflator that came with my Trophy does the job within seconds - maybe a minute tops

I thought so but maybe not it made a lot of noise but didn't seem to make any progress. I connected one of these pumps and the job was done in no time. It also doesn't have one of those shaky needles that drop to a lower value when turned off leaving one wondering which value is correct.

I think it slows down a lot when it gets closer to the required pressure.

Does the job, albeit loudly.

It's much more convenient to use a battery powered pump. I bought THIS from Amazon seven years ago and it's still going strong. There are many similar pumps available.

That looks pretty cool.

That looks pretty cool.

Its great as it also acts as a powerbank (via USB) - small & easily fits in glovebox.

I agree the battery ones are much easier to use.

Just beware of this one though, mine packed in after 6 months :-

So far so good with this one :-

I have bought four of these for various family members, they are brilliant. Fast inflation, reliable, easy to use. The price changes but currently the cheapest they've been at £19.99

Thanks Martin (never seen one of these before, until I met you). Thanks for the head-up. New tyres are great also
