Peter, the easy stuff is done, then. Now it is time to check the pressure.
For this you will need a gauge with the special fitting. You may have to
find a garage that services British cars. If the pressure is low all the
time then the accumulator may need attention. If the pressure is fine in
direct but falls when O/D is engaged then the valve is suspect.
Good luck.
