You will need codes read before doing anything, otherwise you will just be chasing your tail.
Rough location might prompt a local LZ member to offer their services?

plus 1, see ur just up the road from me

have u got diagnostics at all plse as indeed as mentioned ur really be chasing ur tail without one

if the light has gone out where the raise and lower lever is it means it’s gone to hard lockout
 
Plus out of curiosity, after u turn the engine off and then back on again, can u hear the compressor run or does the red light come straight back up again plse , thks

hi

did u bench test ur compressor before fitting it please being second hand, if u have an hitachi one fitted and the replacement is an AMK ur need a CCF software update , also check the relay is ok

check fuse F26 and F3 in the engine bay and ensure u have the pipes fitted correctly

can use a multimeter on the compressor connector to ensure u have voltage , also ensure the lights are lit on the raise / lower switch inside the cabin, if not will need a code reader to reactivate the EAS

hope that helps

That was std repair as D3 pump was superceded by D4 pump.
I would be suspect of any 2nd hand pump.

You will need to post the codes, as a code may not actually be generated by the part at fault, ie the code is what the computer can see, but thay may not be the real fault.
For example compressor getting hot and slow to build up air, could be a tired compressor or a hole in the air tank causing the compressor to run for to long.
It is the live data that will be the key.

Personally I would buy Gary aka @gstuart a beer or two and ask him to plug in his IID tool.
