Ok...Just got the car back today with new battery + new crank sensor.

Car drives waaaaaaaay better and does start up much faster. Previously, I had to wait almost 30s before I could even start it. Although car drives OK, some gear changes are a bit sluggish - workshop mentioned this was due to drop in pressure in the leaky accumulator. The pump now has to overcompensate to maintain 80 bars of pressure. The pump also has continual short bursts of operation. The bursts last about 2s and are about 2s apart too. Wonder if this is normal? Can anyone with a good working SMG comment on this?
