Hi guys

Does anyone know of anywhere or anyone who fixes/services compressors, please?

Mines just packed in today - I’ve had it to pieces and tried cleaning it up and can’t see what’s wrong with it. So need someone who knows what they’re doing lol

Ideally in the north east area, if any of you stellar folk know anybody.

TIA

Were there any unusual noises when you last used it

Yes - it’s almost as if there’s a vacuum created and the piston is about to implode. Obviously I switch it off at that point lol

It pumps and gets up to around 60bar, then it can’t push any further, and starts severely spluttering.

I’ve checked for blockages. Cleaned all pipes, piston, piston housing etc etc - I’d love to hear other suggestions, as I’m at a loss with it.

TIA

James

Yeah, replaced all of them only 2 months ago. They look brand new, still.

have you checked the white polyurethene washer behind the pressure release screw?mine was breaking up and pressure wouldnt go above 50 after digging the old one out and replacing all back to normal.if it looks rough replace it might be worth a try
