Seem to have a problem with the pressure pump in that it sometimes keeps running and I have to switch it off .Also taps fart and belch at turn on.
Tried turning on all taps at once but still get farting and burping after leaving them off for a time and the pump still hasa mind of its own.
Any ideas welcome

Sounds like air in system,,, ie slow shut off.
If it continues check sucking IN air before pump.
Bleed one tap at a time to get all air out.
What brand pump.
PS Forgot this point,,, IF it keeps running possible leak on pressure side somewhere or pump not sealing (ie gunk under check valve)

Also check if there is a non-return valve fitted in supply line - normally located under van in supply line next to a anchor point - My old Jayco actually fitted it under a saddle clamp (which crushed the small plastic valve housing) only cost about $8 for a replacement - only a push on fitting with small ring clip each end.

Just had to replace my 3 1/2 year old Fiamma Aqua 8 pump with a Sureflow because it had similar symptoms. It seems to be the piston heads were slightly frayed at the edges allowing the pressure to leak back and making it run continuously, it would eventually restart after a couple of minutes of popping and spluttering. Moral, get a new pump about $110 on the internet.
