No you can't get the brass collars, what you should have done is cut the pipes away from the connections and then re-join them with quick fit push on joints. You don't need the brass fittings if you get some new pipe and quick fit connectors as the new pipe is fine without the fittings.

You may not need to do the software upgrade. Just replaced my compressor on my 55 plate. I did nt have to and all works well. £500 seems the norm. |

Yes the software is not a given as I have done a few RRS who when upgraded the software they spit there dummy out and did not like the new software. Change the pump and try it with the old software first it should be ok.

Just wondered if you've spotted Disco Mikey's excellent step-by-step guide to fitting the AMK compressor here: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/post358187.html#358187

SCdavies - I agree with you - it's a very good price and I spoke to them yesterday to confirm it's the latest AMK and they came across as very helpful. I've got a flexible slot to bring it in today and will post how I get on.

Reassured to see I'm not the only one that had a sheared valve nut on the old Hitachi!

Why thank you Replacing the compressor is very straight forward. Though, at £500 supply and fit, its a bargain compared to what LR want for the compressor alone |

Got it done yesterday at RR London in Battersea for £495 including brand new AMK (they opened the box to show me it), relay and software. As I I understand, the two main guys, Ross and Conrad trained with LR locally before setting up on their own. Very helpful and courteous. Conrad spent a lot of time taking a look at the AFS issue with the diagnostic connected. They are a little distance from me,but I will use again and highly recommend. I had contacted Duckworths and the price of the compressor has gone up considerably so I don't know how long RR will be able to hold this price once they've gone through their stock. |
