there is a way to test the bomb, it holds approx half a litre of power steering fluid under high pressure and this assists the brakes under extreme braking by firing the fulid out under pressure.
To test if the bomb is past its best or not run the engine for two minutes then turn off and start pressing the brake pedal, you should be able to get at least 10 depressions before you lose the power asist, a new one will give as many as 40 depressions.
Paul at custom auto craft sells them for 119 euros if you need a new one
