For £50, you can't really go wrong. It'll always serve as a backup, if you end up upgrading.

Run it & see how it fares. If it's running fine, leave it be, for the time being. An oil change would be no bad thing though, & drain the water from the tank. There'll likely be some in there.

Thank you. What normally comes in a service kit for a compressor?

Thanks mate, I think the best thing is to go to a pneumatic local, I can take it with me then. Is there any special thread paste/lock I should use, cautious dealing with compressed air etc.You’ll need to check your thread sizes, have a look at this one

Wouldn't white tape be fine? Why would you need yellow (for fuel gas)?
Thanks

Spraying with a 50L compressor is going to be frustrating at best.
Do also remember to add a water trap some distance from the compressor itself to be effective. All compressors will output moist air and you do not want to be spraying paint with water contamination.

Thanks Joe Joepro, it's only for smart/spot repairs so should be fine. Need a new NRV 1st!
