Accumulator valve

Hi lads is there much work involved in changing a accumulator valve. I know it will need re-pressurise but just want to get the parts on myself if possible

The valve is easy to fit . But you won't be able to drive the car until it's been re pressured .

Yes , they are dry until filled so will damage the seals .

Hi grizz I got my health check done at your place while you where on holiday. I was on crutches at the time thanks for the price and the service. If I was in the area I would be booking it in at your place to be done but the army has me all over the place at the min. I might be down the stoke area on the 17th so might jus do the drive to drop it up at yours
