Away in the Lakes earlier this week I spotted one of Jim's LED tyre pressure monitors flashing away - sure enough when I checked the pressure was down significantly. To add to the potential problems I found I've lost the keys for removing the LED's, but managed with a pair of pliers. Changing to the spare on a Boxer is a nightmare for one of my advanced years and somewhat portly build, so a friend who was also on holiday in the Lakes was contacted and brought his 12v. compressor, only to find it wasn't man enough for the necessary 65 psi I normally run at.
At the end of the day it wasn't a problem - there was still about 40 psi in the tyre so a careful drive to a garage in Keswick and we pressured up there - but it occurs to me that a 12v. compressor that is man enough would be a wise investment - any recommendations?
