Thanks Wammers, will remove and have a crack at it.....I thought, as I had been sent a new head...that the blades would have been set!! How annoying!!

Look carefully at the O'ring under the exhaust reed. If it is an head from the Dunlop compressor made in China or that way, the O'ring is thicker than the standard one. Drop a standard O'ring in and it will not sit up enough to seal against the blade. Someone may have done that. They are Jap spec O'rings and cannot be got here or at least i can't find any. You need to either sit something under the O'ring to lift it .5 mm or sit it on some RTV silicone then put a bit of oil on the blade and fit it leave until silicone is set then remove blade and clean up any excess silicone then refit blade as "How to" If air is blowing out of inlet, inlet reed needs setting as per "How to" also. Exhaust reed sat square on in contact with O'ring is vital, as is inlet reed sat flush on head with no gap.

Not half as complicated as some of your explanations
As for being a toff, I left school ( a tough rough East End School) before my 15th birthday on a Friday and started work the following Monday.

Not really check pump first check tanks full once that's done onto why bags arnt lifting is so simple really maybe I don't explain how you would like it to be,prim and proper but I was dragged up

Who cares your just retired and borded picking holes as usual do you spend the time to explain what's steps should be taken other than a simple check of the compresor why not do a step by step check list from compresor filling tank to the car lifting all this can be done with just a in line pressure gauge rather than just criticising becuse someone's on your patch

OK...so changed the head on the compressor pump, put my old one back with new o-rings. I put the reeds back as before.

When I remove inlet filter....there be suction and no blowing this time (thats better, as I had air coming out before!)....

Removed blue pipe, have air coming out BUT can stop it with my finger......BUGGER!!!!

Getting annoyed now! Will try the reeds again, Wammers suggested raising the o-ring by .5mm, so off to try that now!!!

If you can stop it with your finger either piston seal is knackered and that should not be because its new or exhaust reed is not sealing. You need at least a quarter of the O'ring thickness sticking up from it's recess and the reed sat flush on it. Hold a piece of silicone tube over exhaust outlet hole. You should be able to blow through it but not suck back.
