pressure accumulator improvements?

[Eliot Lim <eliot@u.washington.edu>]

thanks to the discussions here, i had the pressure accumulator replaced on
the v8 last week and all symtoms (i.e. brake light staying on for 30 secs
after cold start) disappeared. 

anyway, the side effect of this change is that there is slightly
more power assistance to the brakes.. a great improvement actually.
i don't have to press as hard now if i want strong retardation and
holding the car stationary in "D" is now real easy.

i was wondering if this was due to the bad accumulator losing
"boost" or if this was a subtle change that they made...

anyone?

btw, extended warranty took care of the entire bill of ~$500.
