eer yes, lots of it. Without the spring, the compressor will be all that's holding air in the bags !!

Bollocks

, and to make this even better , one of the threads on the air compressor mountings have stripped so now I can't get the compressor out.

That's usually the stud turning in the plastic housing. I replaced one with an allen bolt, so I can hold it from underneath while tightening the nut.

That's sound like a plan , not to worry I asked it really nicely with a hammer and it's now off

I have a spare pressure switch that I have decided to fit out of precaution. I have depinned connectors before but does it matter which wire goes where?

Nope. either way round.

Swapping things without good reason can lead to more problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
