Surface rust underneath is easily dealt with, wire brush to get rid of the loose stuff then your choice of underbody rust killer/preventer/seal. It's a dirty and messy job but once it's done, you won't need to re-do it for a while.

What evidence have Wrights provided that it's the pump/compressor?
They was going to re gas, but it leaked. I haven’t had time to properly look at any of it yet. It’s a mad life I have!

Will have to get under and see if it sounds hollow. Yes could treat the rust, if I do decide this is the one I will. If it wasn’t that 240s were so slow I would probably go back to one of those, I have a few!
