  6. Took the new switch apart and the seal was completely different so swapped the whole unit over. Wasn't too hard to take apart used PTFE tape when I put it back together.
    Compressor is back working again :)

    mine is the same compressor and the seal in the non return valve has split, can you get new seals or is it a new valve ? @TomEv86
     
  8. You can get new seals but it depends what make your compressor is, where abouts are you?
