My son has broken my Porsche tyre pumper upper that I lent him. Apparently the switch has disintegrated.

I'd like to replace it with a similarly compact and efficient unit. Ebay new unit is £135 which is a tad expensive.

Any suggestions folks?

If it's this, then you could probably get that switch replaced:

Otherwise, I'd probably just replace with a cheapie ring air compressor and use that.

I have both an Audi and a Vauxhall one.
Both are very good, and very quick.
Reasonable on ebay or Gumtree at around £20.
Not to be compared with the £5.99 ones from the Filling Station !
Or as suggested replace the switch and keep the Porsche Badge.

Porsche tyres don't require Porsche air, vauxhall, Ford or ring air inflates them just as well.
My porker uses a £8 compressor c/w flashing orange beacon thing 🤣 and torch...

I'm emotionally attached to my Porker pumper machine- nothing wrong with that, even on PH, lol.

You could always take it apart & just bypass the switch & keep your relationship with your porker tyre pumper alive. wink
