Default quite some time now, I'd say 3 years or so...

...not that anyone really services them, but you can take them apart now (the top cap is attached with screws).

Default no, i wasn't saying that. i meant you don't hear of people servicing them often...

... I've checked mine about 5 times now, and they pass my unoffical, push the piston, cap the line, and see if the piston holds test.

I've also emailed Bailey in teh UK for a set of seals and nipples, they never respond. I was going to replace all taht stuff as a "why not", but whatever to them.
