While working with Randy yesterday I noticed that the Classic we were working on had a brake accumulator. I have been recharging Audi brake accumulators for about 8 years (www.audibombs.com).
I pulled the Range Rover accumulator (or "bomb" as we call it in the Audi world) and recharged it. Everything went smoothly and it is currently under going a 24 hour leak test (stuck it a heavy zip-lock bag).
This unit will be installed on another Classic and tested in the coming week or so. If it works I will be offering this service to Range Rover owners.
The bombs lose their charge slowly through the diaphragms over the years. My service recharges the nitrogen side to the original pressure (1175 psi).
This service will cost a bit less than my Audi service as the Rover ones are a bit easier - I am thinking $75 with shipping included. $40 core charge.
Thoughts? Comments? I am only putting it out to the ROVERS Club for now to get reactions.
Thanks!
