Thats why the guy on the Land Rover Experience afternoon I went on said "If you get a puncture, call Land Rover Assistance" then.

Call LRA for a puncture? When I can have the pleasure of seeing a Highway Womble's face when they find me with the D3 up on the Takla at the side of the road?  You cannot begin to comprehend the immensity of the  I do not give.

I'd double check that. I broke the bracket (into little bits  ) and bent the mounting lugs on the compressor which in turn was making a horrible noise. LR replaced the bracket, straightened the lugs and remounted the compressor for AUD$500.
