How do u get the compressor working? There is a lever type thing going into the back of the compressor at the fuel pump end, which seems to have 3 stages, fully in engage's it. fully out and the in between bit seem to be the same.

on top of the compressor is another little lever type thing which i haven't a clue what its for, and below that there is something which looks like u'd turn by hand but it dont move ???

where is the actual air outlet valve?

It has a dog clutch. With the small lever (the 3mm wire hook) you unlock the other lever, by lifting the little lever up. Then you can put the dog clutch into gear.

follow the pipe down from the compresser to the metal bottle thingy on the side of the sump, the outlet is on the bottom of the bottle thingy.

Yeah, when u push the lever in-wards it engage's ok but there is no air pressure, it does blow slightly but not enough, i think it'll need stripped down and checked out.
