Land Rover Discovery 2 Tyre Inflation Air Port

After installation of an air compressor on my Disco 2 it became obvious, that the compressed air could have been used too for other purposes than the air horn.

An installation of a high pressure air port gives you a possibility to connect anything you want, for example a tyre inflator gun.

Since I had the compressed air pressure line led through the engine space to the cabin gauge, it was easy to add a 3-way splitter to the air line, and an standard air quick-connector, that is accessible when the hood is open. This way the air port is in a place which does not get unreasonably dirty when driving.

If you look around the engine space, you will find a suitable place for the connector to attach. I used one of the screws that were near the fuse-box in the chassis part. I used a metal bracket to which I screwed together the air quick connector to a 6mm air pipe port with the bracket between the two, Than I attached the bracket to the chassis using an existing screw.

Now, attach a tyre inflation gun and enjoy pumping the tyres in the field with no pain.

My Disco 2

This is my dearest year 2000 2.5TD Land Rover Discovery 2.
I bought it in 2012 and it serves me beautifully since then.

I am going to write up some of the mods and upgrades that I am doing to it.
For now, this is what it looked like in December 2012:

It came on 18" black alloy wheels which looked pretty cool, although it could fit only standard highway tyres.
