If its hissing, it does not sound dead to me... could be a broken air pipe somewhere or just the main connection has come off the air pump - have you checked its on solid and not kinked or broken?

ritey just had a wee look there

the bit where the air pipe conects 2 (the wee white bit thats screwed onto the metal) ther seams to b air comeing out of that not sure if its ment 2 tho any 1 know also any idea how 2 fix it

no air should be leaking anywhere at all, sounds like that part has fractured or a pipe has come loose off it - the white bit is like a distrubutor for the air to all the pipes that go to door locks

can be easily replaced if this is the problem

just been haveing a wee think there would i b able to tape the pipe where teh airs comeing out with insulating tape until i get round 2 changeing the little white thing

I don't see why not, use some gaffer tape or something like that, or electrical tape for a good air tight-ish seal

will do

by any chance do u know where i would b able to get the part number for the little white thing?

any chance you get post a picture of the exact bit that is broken?

it could be: 447 711 758

but there are several bits like that
