For those of you wanting more/faster air for your EAS, here's a pic of the Thomas air compressor I bought from http://www.Rover-Renovations.com and installed in my Rangie today.
There is a write-up of how I installed it over at http://paulp38a.com/99p38a/eas-compressor-replacement/
Dennis/Shupack - I do credit you with the instructions I followed to do the install. If there are any pics in my write-up you find useful for updating your instructions, feel free to use them. Same goes to the moderators on this site... you are welcome to use the write-up or parts of for the benefit of other Rangie owners.
It is faster alright - four and a half minutes to inflate the tank from empty 8)
It is also bigger and noisier than the original unit. With a bit of persuasion, and using the old compressor as a donor it fits in the EAS box, but the lid won't close. Think I'll just cut a hole in the top of the lid so at least the sides are protected from water splashes.
The noise and vibration hasn't bothered me yet. For those who have seen/heard my car, you know it's not the quietest Rangie around thanks to the dual exhaust system
Cheers, Paul.
