Thanks guys.

In the fullness of time I intend to reinstate the original vacuum pump. It is still all there, even the glass bowl but it has been disconnected from at the top and at the bowl.

I dont know why it was abandoned in favour of an electric pump.

I dont know how the vaccum system works so I guess I have two jobs to do.

I know the car has been used successfully for the last 5 years or so with the electric pump and it certainly seemed ok when I first looked at it, so I would like to get it working properly again.

Thereafter can anyone give me any details on how the vaccum system works so I can remove this and have a look to see what, if anything, is wrong. Once this is good to go, I will reinstate it and ditch the electric one.

Thanks again for your feedback and advice
