Yes, the deep south. Known as Western Australia. It's a long, complicated story (aren't they all?):D

Well on that note I have to mention British Spares (compressor) on eBay and Island 4X4 (starter motor and other bits). Both have been absolutely great to deal with and any problems they have resolved quickly and without stress.

I don't know if we can post here about sellers that have been really great or not so if someone could let me know that would be great. Craig

:D:D

You must know my ex........or her Scottish/Welsh side of her family. She definitely had something wrong with her lol

Well I do say G'day to him every time. Most times I go there it's for things not specific to the car. All the 'kids' in there just stare at me with a blank face on and hear only my accent and don't actually listen to the content. My spanner monkey and I will be doing just that this afternoon :D...

The bloke that does have a clue wasn't in there today. So I didn't even bother asking them for anything, which btw, is the default whenever I do go there and he's not there.

It's interesting that you say that because before the fuse blew & the pump knackered itself we did smell something odd but we were driving through a little country village and attributed the smell to that. But we do love them Kurt............................................:D The new...

I should also have the replacement compressor tomorrow. The first thing I will be doing with it is testing the continuity between the black and orange wires then testing if it actually runs properly prior to installing it into the car. Which I won't be doing until I have checked all of the...

If the weather is better tomorrow I'll check the condition of the fuse panel. I don't recall reading that one but to be fair I have read heaps about all of this over the last few weeks it's all starting to roll into one. I also replaced the relay for the compressor with an OEM relay. I tested...

I know this was all written a long time ago but this really is a great write-up and exactly how I installed mine albeit without the mic. For some unknown reason no matter what I tried the mic just wouldn't work. I can hear people through the car audio system but can't talk to them. I've used the...

Thanks Kurt. When I use Hawkeye to test the valve block I can hear every valve opening and closing. I do have another driver box sitting in the shed. Is there a way that I can test it out of the car to make sure it is still good before installing it? Hahahaha. A habit I got into 30 years ago...

I need to take the wheels off anyway for other things so may as well make it slightly roomier for myself. I know the valve block isn't leaking as I reconditioned that myself (my dad used to do that back in Australia so I learned a thing or two there). The bags definitely were replaced, I took...

I will be pulling all four wheels off and really rip into the whole thing properly. I didn't fit the bags, a friend owns a workshop and his mechanic did it, ex-racingmechanixc. However, I am finding lots of things he has done that aren't right. So now no one but me will be touching the car...

My plan now is to get the compressor I had in the car that is now seized and hopefully send it to Kurt to have one sitting around in the back of the car (because these things are oh so reliable.........with breaking) as a spare. :D

Hahaha I do but it is also done and dusted as well. This is the 6th compressor in the car that I am aware of. Which is why I didn't install it straight away. I wanted to see if there was something causing the issue but all tests I did came back as if there was no issue except for the...

Cheers.

As per the technical archive and what it states there to do for testing the compressor.

Yep, I tested the compressor while it was unplugged from the wiring harness. All I can think of is when I received the delivery of the item the packaging appeared to have been torn open, it was a whole corner ripped apart. It is possible that the compressor may have fallen out of this hole and...

In a brand new OEM compressor?
