Thanks Rabbit. My compressor is still very new in the scheme of things (2 and a bit years). It certainly hasn't been used everyday in that time either. The air gun gets more use the spray gun! Noise is not an issue for me. I only work during the daytime and it's reasonably quiet for its size, and we've got pretty good neighbours.

After your advice, I'm off the idea at this point, but I had a quick look around anyway and it doesn't appear Hyundai are available in AUS. I found one from Sydney Tools that is the same specs as Simon's (24L, 1 HP, 100 psi) but know nothing about the brand (Lincoln?). I thought it was pretty inexpensive though ($179). What brand is yours?
