Got to check for cracks and splitsI wondered why you spent so much time on your back "checking the car chassis"

I would check your relays and all fuses , and the board for any damage or corrosion. You have a surge issue somewhere that will love to eat your pump thermal trip asap.
Just replacing pumps is not the best way, take your time and have a good luck at the relay board and replace relays with correct relays.
One major problem that can be ticked off the check list then
See @pwood999 think he may have a source for compressors
Don't leave it running more than a 10 seconds at a time as you may blow the thermal tripI should also have the replacement compressor tomorrow. The first thing I will be doing with it is testing the continuity between the black and orange wires then testing if it actually runs properly prior to installing it into the car. Which I won't be doing until I have checked all of the above. No point putting a brand new working(hopefully) compressor if the problem is still there.
Cheers for the advice.

Have a good sniff of the fuse box any smell of burning?? If you've got to replace it make sure it's the correct one for the year and fuel type.If the weather is better tomorrow I'll check the condition of the fuse panel. I don't recall reading that one but to be fair I have read heaps about all of this over the last few weeks it's all starting to roll into one. I also replaced the relay for the compressor with an OEM relay. I tested that by applying power to it, the new one, and it clicked as it should do. I've kept the old one though and I am going to pull it apart and see what condition it is like inside. Again, it is likely to have been in the car since 2001.
All of the fuses are good, I have plenty of spare ones as well. The only thing I can't seem to find brand new is the relay under the passenger seat. I've seen some on ebay for £15-ish but the trouble with old ones is does it actually work coreectly? I know if need be I can get a new fuse panel. I'm also going to change the terminals on the battery. The negative terminal is feeling like it won't be far from becoming completely loose. It is already tightened as tight as it can be. So I thought I'd just replace it with a new one.

the reason i say check your other relays and board is that if you see any damage then it solves a lot of other problems happening later. Have you checked the plug the compressor plugs into on the loom?
If those wires have been damaged or the pins are corroded they can also cause an issue

All I can say is treasure and nurture himThe bloke that does have a clue wasn't in there today. So I didn't even bother asking them for anything, which btw, is the default whenever I do go there and he's not there.
Get the left rear wheel off and check if the pipe is pushed fully home into the bag connection. Hope you have found the source of your electrical problems.The bloke that does have a clue wasn't in there today.
