That's well past it's use by date !
Did you strip the compressor down, inspect the seals etc. and give it a good blow out ? I always get a full service kit and replace all seals, including the piston seal whenever it's needed. The compressor is often forgotten about until it plays up and bearing in mind it it runs for quite long periods needs a service every 2 or 3 years or so to keep in top form. Looks like the dessicant has broken down over a long period of time Relocated to Mid France from N. Wales March 2021

After some thinking and not wanting to be beaten,I decided clean the filter and took the compressor off and as I suspected the air intake pipe was partly crushed (me in a hurry),took my time refitting the compressor and this is the result

Any good recommendations on dryer beads to buy off Amazon? I figure I'll try some new beads for my suspension failure issues, given that my compressor is capable of building pressure if it all wakes up on the right side of the bed.

I brought refurbish kit from 4X4 airseals (based in UK). Sent to New Zealand in good time (although this time of year might be delays).

They have really good YouTube tutorials on how to fit.
