At dealers from just after the BX was introduced and for myself since 1992. The early BX spheres seemed to last for years. The introduction of the series two was around when we started replacing suspension spheres almost as a service item.
The sphere problem is a very big problem. Most replacement spares are either U/S from new or fail within months. I think the best solution is to equip oneself with the tools to recharge and buy a stock of cheap spheres.

According to a Citroen course I attended in 1989, a poor French mechanic lost his life unscrewing a GSA suspension sphere with the suspension still at full pressure. Treat them with respect.

A potential fuel thief in Colne Lancashire had to get passers by phone emergency services. He cut a rear suspension pipe. The car sank, trapping him. He was fine. True story.
