Likewise mate

Don’t blame u coming indoors for a warm up and drink

This was the kind of kit I used to test the valve blocks after rebuilding them, alas they still didn’t seal correctly as they wouldn’t hold vacuum, just found it a very useful tool along with some soapy water

Ref the Voss connectors , before I replaced mine to push fit I found putting a small amount of PTFE onto the Voss olives helped where some were leaking after using some soapy water

Hope it resolves the issue mate and plse let us know how u get on

Right, still holding perfect height unlike yesterday where it dropped within an hour. Over night will be the true test. Just out of interest when I took the block apart it did have a lot of white powder, I presume from the old knackered compressor, previous owner fitted cheap Chinese !!! So I fitted genuine AMK. Some of the original seals seemed ok but a few were out of shape. So every seal changed and now I think the drop yesterday was due to Voss connectors been incorrectly re fitted and yes used a dab of liquid pfte. 👍

That’s brilliant news that all ur hard work is paying off, massive credit to u mate Bow down

Had the same ref the white dust , I disconnected lines and blew them out with an air compressor , plus I removed the compressors intake air filter from the boot and gave that a clean as well

Hope u don’t mind me asking but did u also update ur compressors firmware / fit new relay when changing to an AMK plse

Once again congrats and is still ok tomorrow Thumbs Up

👍 new genuine AMK compressor fitted months ago with new mount and new anti vibration rubbers. firmware updated and new relay. No problems with it and runs like a dream. Unlike the Chinese copy which sounded like a 2 stroke moped 😂
