Been looking at fitting a propriotry compressor to pump tyres etc to a V8
110 but been horrified by the price of these units. Is there any reason why I could not use an air con compressor say off a range rover to do this?

There's lots about this out there - search for "on board air". One of the advantages of going down this route is that get volume - something rather lacking in the cheap and nasty electric solutions. Try these for a start:
Wow what a response, will take me a while to read this.
Thanks

You see the odd ex-101 ambi compressor on ebay (101 ambis came with a belt driven compressor, air tank and respirator packs/masks in the back)
Tom Woods uttered summat worrerz funny about:
Last tank on a couple of days ago sold for 99p too...
Pumps are a PITA though as they block access to the dizzy bolt for timing.

Gerald, We sell two options for onboard air compressors. We have an 8cfm MODIFIED air con pump that runs on grease rather than oil - the benefit of this is that you get clean air rather than oil infused air like when running un-modified units. The other option we have is a
10cfm dedicated air compressor that has a twin cylinder, seperate oil sump arrangement.The modified air con pump comes with Multi-V electric clutch and the
10cfm is available with either Multi-V or standard double 2A V-Blet clutch.If you would like further info, drop me an email - address here:
