Hi, welcome to the site. Where abouts are you? I've upgraded mine & have the old one to sell sometime, but it could be a bit on the big side if you've got little room. Also, I'm in Cumbria which likely means you're miles away or just possibly I'm not too far off while almost everyone else is!

I'm interested in the compressor if Gazza doesn't want it. Any pics info on it? I'm in Morecambe so not a million miles away.

Well my plan was to fix a couple of minor things & try it on ebay, the belt guard has a hole in it, just a saftey thing, works fine. And it's had a fresh motor at some point, all works fine but the mounting bolts dont line up so there's only 2 in, never been a problem but a little fabrication on the mounting plate would make it right.
It's an Ingersoll Rand but I dont think that means much as a mate had an identical one except it was red & badged up as Snap-On.
It's no oil painting but does what it needs & holds pressure well, not been run in a couple of months but still hasn't dropped much pressure.
I'll take some pics & have a think about what I'd want for it.

No problem, mabye you're looking for a recomendation of a compressor or supplier when you're thinking of new then?
It's a bit bigger than most would want fro a domestic garage anyway.
Pics in progress fro you skodaman.
