just because of it's shape doesn't really conjur up a name change for me laugh

anyway back to it nutters


Yeah yeah... and they call me pedantic.

I appreciate that they are all in fact accumulators in that they collect pressurised hydraulic fluid, however as you know, in Citroen speak, an accumulator typically has no internal valving as it is attached to a valve of some sort, whereas, what we colloquially refer to as a sphere has valving in its neck to provide suspension control charactertics as per the specific design for that accumulative pressure reserving device.

Now go and buy yourself a new cardigan and pipe and grow a beard! l_sabre eyeball



ah the 'valve'

that would be a flow control for said accumulator laugh

i'll go and get my cardi and pipe now
