Hi All,

I need an air compressor to keep in the car, has anybody got any recommendations?

Just want one that reliable, max of £30.

Thanks!

I've got this and find it excellent.

Well within your budget too!

Get a decent double barrel foot pump. Much faster to pump tyres up and you don't have to trail wires out of the window. The Michelin foot pump is very well made apart from the stupid fiddly plastic pegs that holds it together when you store it. The pressure gauge is even quite accurate.

I have a Michelin digital 12v tyre inflater, and its quite good,
it's not that quiet in operation, but plug in select a pressure and off it goes,
stops when its done. very easy to use.

This. Even a single barrel should do.
If your checking your tyres regularly it shouldn't take long to get them to the correct pressure. If it does take a long time to pump trhem up, either your tyres have a problem or you need to check them more often.
