random 659 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi all just want to quickly pick the brains of anyone with experience of these,it started to leak from the fill probe and loses pressure from around 160 bar to less around 100 in probably an hour or so then goes down to less than 50 over the next day or so,is this something I could look at myself or is it a back to a and m job? I have tried ringing them but never got through so thought I'd see what people think, Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Back to A&M, they do not want people tampering with the cylinders and they do have a lifetime warranty so let them sort it out! Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Looks like I'll give them a call then thanks,I didn't know about the warranty but have heard they are fantastic people to deal with,although I did by it used so maybe I'll be forking out for it but either way it needs doing it is becoming a pain not holding pressure!

random 659 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just an update,gave them a call and was told by a very helpful lady that it is still under warranty and as long as I haven't tampered with it or blown it by overfilling,then they will do the work for free and while I wait because I'm taking it in not posting,so going next weekend when I have the time,I'll let you know after I've been...

villaman 9,980 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 XTX Air has put out a vid on how to do it , after all its only O rings Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes but do it yourself and your lifetime warranty expires just like the last of the air rushing out of the cylinder! This way they do it and pay for the o rings as well as having the tools to do it properly. Not to mention the fact that A&M claim that the cylinder in the XTX video does not have their valve fitted and has already been modified by a third party! Quote Link to post

random 659 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd let you know I've been up to a and m this afternoon and had my leak sorted,with uprated parts!,whilst one of the lads busied himself doing this I had a chat and look round and was very happy with the service I received from a very friendly and knowledgeable group of people,and they replaced my filling probe o rings and filled my tank as well!,so overall a very good company to deal with and after my albeit brief dealing with them I highly recommend them and see why they have such a good reputation...

random 659 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 How much did you pay for your cylinder mater?? That's my next step on my s200 It came on the rifle,I bought it used,on the website the hw100 cylinder is £150 not sure on any others,there is a s200 pictured on the site,I'd call to find out for your requirements they are very friendly and helpful... 1 Quote Link to post
Andy-K2 1 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I would like to second the comments above for A&M. I bought one for my HW100 a few weeks ago, and although the one I had sent had a faulty fill valve, one call and they were brilliant. They are as close to half the weight of the original and by "upgrading" to this cylinder it also changes the handling of the HW to a much more pleasant tool. I have to say its a must for any HW100 owner. I must say I don't work or have shares in A&M but credit where its due. Quote Link to post
