I have just bought an air compressor from a local garden centre which is the model that I think Aldi were selling recently (Powercraft 2.5hp) and I have a couple of questions about it.

1. did it come with any oil in as mine appears to be totally empty?

2. Is there actually an element in the air filter as I've opened mine up and it is empty save for a small piece of metal covering the intake hole

Thanks

Hi righty, mine has a separate filter but when I removed the wing nut and cover it is empty, no element (i.e foam or paper) is yours the same?

Cheers

I had to put the air filter onmine, I think the oil filter was aleady on, serpantly not touched it.

Anyone got a decent inflator gun thing? Mine was from halfrauds but the connectors a bit sh1t, losing air when using Scraeder to Presta adaptor.
