I've always found Halfords compressors to be crap.
I was forever taking them back for a replacement under warranty. Fine for little top ups, but they can't do inflating of 4 tyres from flat, they just overheat, so they really are cheap crap.
In the end I gave up on them and bought this Michelin branded one because it had a metal heat sink so it cools better;

It's been brilliant, no problems with it after about 6 years. The LED lighting is really handy too (Halfords ones might have this now, but they didn't back then).

So which do you prefer Brands or Snetterton?
Definatly prefer snetterton. Much more to it . Is also so flat compared to brands hatch.
Do you have your next track day booked up yet ?
