It depends on how often you use it. On my hunting lease there are always trailers and old 4x4’s needing air every time I arrive not to mention my own airing up and down needs.

Does the integrated air compressor come with attachments to inflate bicycle tires with Presta valves?

Can the compressor be preset to fill bicycle tires 15-22psi without damaging the tires?

It’s got a Schraeder head on it, but any bike store can sell you a presta adapter for a couple of bucks if you don’t have one lying around already. It should have no problem filling any bike tire at those pressures. I just checked, and it goes from 5-60 psi.

I ordered a multipack off Amazon that included adapters for bike tires, an inflatable paddle board and air mattress. I’ve been the hero on a few occasions with that adapter pack.

Has anyone fitted the Land Rover integrated air compressor to their Defender 110 after the fact? I've watched Powerful UK's videos on removing the rear trim and installation. Installing the compressor looks straight forward, but I wonder if you really have to remove as much of the trim as their videos show? Which in their video is pretty much everything on this side all the way to the C-pillar area of the rear door.

Would anyone happen to know if it will go higher than 60 psi? I have a special need for 70.
Thanks,
Gord

60psi is the max spec, unfortunately. Some with it may have exceeded that.
