We don't have a lot of problems with pcp's within our little group as the only thing that wears out is washers and seals. Makes used in the group include Air Arms, BSA, Daystate, Crossman, gunpower, and Weihrauch.
None of us use dive tanks only stirrup pumps with clip on charge adapters just in case one of our pumps fail.
One of our group is also ticketed and his pcp happily delivers 32ft lbs so he shoots slugs not pellets. It's great for downing "bunnies" at 75 yards with little if any noise or recoil.

It's surprising how many springer owners haven't ever changed a main spring though or even know how to carry out basic maintenance.
One guy I know was convinced that a squirt of wd40 into the vent hole made his springer shoot further having being impressed by the puff of smoke out the barrel every time he fired the rifle.
Stripped it for him when it lost power. You should have seen his face when he saw the melted piston washer because of deiseling.
Fun bit about it was he couldn't source a replacement washer only a complete piston. Cost him £45 and £15 carriage to and from BSA as the piston was again listed as a major component under the VCR rules.
Got to love these petty little laws haven't you.
