I'm not looking for a cure, just a temporary way to lift it off its arse. The compressor will hopefully be repaired today and codes cleared tonight but if for some reason the parts dont turm up i cant do another 150 miles on the bump stops till tomorrow night.

Think i read somewhere that the compressor runs but starts buzzing. That maybe a little more than a piston seal needed. The motor itself sounds tired to me if that is the case.
 
As a temp measure to get you mobile you can pump each bag . You disconnect the 4 pipes from the eas block. Ideally you need airline 6mm double ended push fittings to put on each one. Into each of these you need to fit a tyre valve. If you can get old tyre tubes or the valve stems from tubless rims, pare back the rubber about 30mm from the valve. This will reveal a brass 6mm stem which will go into the above fittings. Once pumped to about 60psi it should stay up or will highlight where you have the leak!! As you may not have the said push fittings perhaps you can come up with an alternative. Maybe the valve stems will go into the pipes from the bags if they are warmed slightly. Then you need very small jubilee clips to hold them!!

Well thats the best £4.36 ive spent this year!
£1.09 each for the 6mm push fit straight connectors and a trip to the tyre guy next door.....Sorted.
Just been out and pumped all 4 bags up, i can now ride to my nanocom guy to get the fault cleared in comfort :) Pump's refurbed and fitted, i'll plug it in just before we clear the faults.
Thanks for all your input guys, lets hope the fault stays cleared !!
