AMK compressor

Ok so,been looking for a new compressor and I have come across a site that says it is selling the new AMK compressor and is an improvement over the hitachi one but it says that this will only fit if you have had the AMK upgrade how the hell do I know if mine has or not. Will a new AMK compressor fit mine or will it be a waste of money. Or is this total tosh have no idea what to do really was hoping to get a hitachi but have since found out that the new AMK is better how I'm not sure. Then to confuse things further there is also new Dunlop one for sale when or why did Dunlop get involved.

Ps I will be buying it but won't be fitting it for a few weeks so don't want to get it and find that I can't return it back.

Any help appreciated

Stu If it moves and it shouldn't duct tape it, if it doesn't move and it should walk away and get a big hammer

I've checked it's an AMK

But it's virtually brand new no staining rust or dirt on it looks like it hasn't been there very long either its manufacturing date is 02/02/2015 so under 3 years at a push

What do I do as I can't figure out what is wrong or what to replace If it moves and it shouldn't duct tape it, if it doesn't move and it should walk away and get a big hammer

No worries now

I just had to remove the cover for the compressor bit daunting have zero mechanical know how. But it was two bolts and cover came off.

I know it's an AMK now but I'm not sure it's the compressor as it's brand new.I can't find any leaks and I'm no wiser as to what the amber warning is referring too

Any other considerations

Keep getting the amber warning saying suspension fault slow to raise If it moves and it shouldn't duct tape it, if it doesn't move and it should walk away and get a big hammer

So what's the worse case scenario Can I unstick it or is it a new compressor If it moves and it shouldn't duct tape it, if it doesn't move and it should walk away and get a big hammer
