    Wait! Is this it (looking suspiciously like electrical wiring)? The horizontal one? Is that copper pipe that runs back to the pump Derek?

    That's to unload the pump when it stops.
    (or at least the same looking pipe on my SuperCheapAuto compressor does that)

    This shows the big copper pipe leading from the cylinder head at top left, down, then along to a fitting in the tank.
    You should have something similar on the back side of the compressor.

    The first pic in the second lot shows the tank fitting where the pump pressurises the tank.

    Many thanks for all the information, my friends. I now know a lot more than when I started. Still not enough - need to read the manual to understand how it works. I may lug the compressor to Supercheapauto, since that is probably where it originates. The parts do not look expensive - I wonder why my friends did not repair it?

    Regards from Perth
