I've removed the compressor and, sure enough, as soon as it was connected to an external power source, there was a spark, there was smoke and the smell of burning. I've ordered this replacement pump, which worked out around £400 and is OEM. I think my original pump must have got damaged when I did the piston ring mod - one of the screws broke in place, so needed to be drilled out. I taped the opening but some shards of metal must have got in somewhere they shouldn't have.

Hope this helps someone out.

Glad to see you sorted it out. I don't agree/support the compressor you went with as you spent extra money on it than you needed to vs. the one I linked.

Thanks. I looked at the Amazon one but it’s only £30 cheaper once delivery to the U.K. is factored in. That £30 gets me a pump made by the original manufacturer, a new air filter, a temperature sensor, relay, rubber mounts and no need to wait for shipping from USA to me. All in, the OEM one from Germany seemed a better choice. Had I lived in the US, it would have been a more difficult decision.
