Thanks Smaky I had wondered why there was never any mention of it as being a cause. Just need to replace the brushes on pump motor now and i should be good to go.

As with most people i have had a few issues with the selespeed system on my 147 2.0TS. None of the diagnosis has ever pointed to the check valve which sits on the high pressure side. Could it be possible for the check valve to fail or not seat correctly which allows the system to depressurise back through the pump to the reservoir. I have just replaced my accumulator and have to admit that the pressure built quicker than it had done before which suggests that the fault was with the accumulator but while i still have everything in bits i was hoping to put this one to bed for a few thousand miles. Going to do the motor brushes while i have the opportunity also. Any Thoughts Graham
