Thanks Zorba I actually bought some mounts and rebuild kit for the valve block ( yet to fit ) from this fellow . The postage was cheaper and quicker that i can often get thing from here . Had another long think about it and the only thing that made sense and which had been disturbed was the thermal cutout in the motor . So the dill that dismantled the pump motor is at fault so self inflicked . I have it seems upset the thermal cutout some how , don`t know how but it was working before and not right now it seems . I joined an earth wire to the orange wire and now the pump runs as it should . In my case one advantage of the classic type set up it the air intake can be heard from inside the car near the back quarter panel . So just from now the back seat passengers are going to be the thermal cut out for the pump motor or if i can hear it me but my ears don`t work too good anymore . Also think i`ve found a place in the US that can supply an external thermal cut out but only a quick look so not certain . I remember someone having trouble with one awhile back ? Again thanks for the interest , there doesn`t seem to be alot of late , i considered posting on aulro but it just doesn`t work for me though i don`t mind helping there occasionally .

Took it for a drive, the : lower highway setting light came on. : When home and out it leveled its self. : So everything seems to be working as it : should except the compressor won`t run. : I guess I`ll have to pull the box off again : and see if there`s something I`ve mucked up : and I guess check the valve block : driver/wires/connector and I think I can see : another pressure switch on the valve block : and if there is make sure its not connected : though there is no current on pin 13 on the : ECU plug. : Any ideas would be helpful as I`ve pretty : much run out just now. : : : Cheers : :
