Hi Denis, yes you can drive with us without an air compressor but this route we never know where we will finish as it is dependant on convoy performance. The best thing to do would be to pop out and grab an air compressor from ACE or Dragon Mart just to be safe.
If we reach badayer or 2nd December then we will have access to air refill service. :thanks:
Insha Allah i will join.. My first drive with my FJ and DO..

quote Pbencini:I bought a dual compressor from dragonamrt a few weeks ago and has already stopped working. 🙁
The wires insulation has melted in places under the black cover. I separated the wires but it still doesn’t work. Could it be I need new wires put in as well as perhaps a new switch (as well as a new little black plastic box switch)? 😕If so is it worth it – and where could i go to get this looked at?
or is it simply my fault for expecting more from dragon mart. #-o
“Buy cheap and buy twice” – in my case 3 times in one year! :-\
:thanks:
Yesterday i was in DM, there is too many different a/c. I was confused which is better.
Can someone advise me model and specification? (photo if you have) Please.Thanks in advance.
Hi Denis,
Some people are lucky with compressors from Dragon Mart, but some are not. Please buy a branded compressor from ACE. Even if it’s a compact one – which may take longer to inflate – it’s worth the trouble and investment.
If you can afford it, go for a Bushranger. Fills up fast and – I think – it’s covered by warranty.
BTW, please tell me how the 2.7L engine performs on the drive. I’m considering a Hilux pickup as an offroad toy and your feedback will be valuable.
Cheers,
Sreejith

SreejithI didn’t try it in a desert.

Yellow Hat – air – compressor

495 AEDWhat do you think regarding specification?
I vouch for the dragon mart Air Compressor, its 1/3 the cost of the ones at ACE.
I’ve been using mine for 3-1/2 years
Ultimately the choice is yours.
Today in ACE – air compressor.

Dear,
I would also recommend the Dragon Market one. Take the Red one with one cylinder and 160 L/min air flow.
It more than enough for the beginning and is even a Test Winner on a german webpage comparing a dozen compressors.
It tops the other compressors in 7 Categories out of 16.
http://svs-schneider.de/098-107_Kompressoren.pdfYou will find it at shop EBG 03 for 220 AED.
Ive been using dragon mart one too for about 1.5 years, works perfectly!
But this is a good offer and a very reliable brand
Hi Faheem. I’m still trying to complete all my tasks before Friday. Hopefully will register for this drive. Can’t miss it :drive:
