I spent a sunday during the summer trying to do this. I did eventually get the compressor off but spent an age trying to remove one of the compressor pipes. Then when I did get it off, I recall there was a bolt/ screw that needed to be removed. I had to use the vice in the garage to be able to get enough force to remove it and it sheared and so as far as i could see, the part was then unrepairable. I got the replacement AMK compressor with new relay and software fitted at RR London ( ) for £495. Here the post: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic32424.html |

I have had my compressor repaired today. Don't just think the seals will fix it though, we took my compressor off today and turns out the guy at landyair is based just round the corner fom me. I rang him to to order a kit and he said while I'm local to bring the compressor round and he would test it for me. Glad I did, turns out there was nothing wrong with the rings but there was a crack in the back plate of the compressor and air was leaking out. He made me a new back plate and replaced the crystals in the air dryer. We then re fitted it, cleared the fault codes. £70 and its running sweet as now. Great service.
