I've had one of these since 2010, I believe it's a chinese copy of the viair compressors...
https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/accessor...essor.html
Bought it from a past site sponsor at the time, but J Craddocks have been selling them since before then.
Previously I had a HD Michelin car compressor from Halfrauds and for it wasn't man enough to do more than one tyre when dealing with Discovery wheels. I killed it trying to re-inflate all four tyres after driving through the desert in Tunisia and returning to road driving. Ended up having borrow BobbyCrispBoxs compressor for the rest of the trip. Thanks Rob LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

I have a Viair, and it's a great compressor. Mine done 2 trips to Morocco, and gets used a lot at home too. The only weakness is the flex gets brittle and snaps. I've replaced it with a better quality cable.
I know they are not cheap, but they can blow up a Disco tyre from flat in remarkably little time.

I have tmax had it for about 11 years with no problems but you do have to run them direct from the battery. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
