Here are the pictures of the old compressor part. You can see the damage, it should be smooth all the way round and mine had some nicks from the outside and quiet bad scoring. Air was escaping round the edge of the part as a result of the damage.
I was charged 3 hours labour, Rick had to spend sometime cleaning up the piston cylinder as it was in quiet a state inside. Suspension is now working great which is a relief until something else breaks.
This is what I purchased, this is the original one. As you can see Andy has sold loads of them, each is handcrafted and tested before being posted.
