Start at the beginning. Is your compressor producing a decent air pressure?

There's an excellent write up from Wammers at the top of this section. Follow that logically and you're pretty well guaranteed to get it working again.

Thanks will checkout wammers post

Do you use the access height often? I believe that puts a lot of wear on the pump sooner than normal.

I can turn the pump on and of with the nanocom I use the accsess height a bit coz the enemy has arthritus and it helps her get in the car

By all means use it mate its what its there for just wondered if your pump might be due a seal kit and something?

Just because you can turn the pump on does not mean it is producing compressed air.

The overhaul is dead easy, cost about £20.
New compressor is OK if you have the cash, need to check for leaks in the system too.

There is a used one with a 90 day warranty on Ebay for £75, item number 231521885415, might last long enough for you to overhaul yours.

I'm away at the moment at my caravan was just going to get a lift to island 4x4 and get a new one the car is on access height not on the bump stops and no wanings coming up on the dash when I use it so may b able to get home Monday

If it's not on the bump stops, it soon will be with no air supply.

Yer I no but when the engines running I fink that's whats keeping it at this height

Wish I was nearer to that 1 on fleabay would have gone and brought that just to get home Monday

Never had to use them, but I carry 4 Schrader valves and a 12 volt tyre inflator in case of emergencies.

I can't belive my luck with island 4x4 being closed all week

The compressor kit is easy after the first two or three times,I have a spare one that I keep so I can just slip it on when it gets tied

Yer I will get a new 1 fitted and refurbish the one I take of
