Moondog AKA TPFKAQT AOK QED,

Hmmm...

It has been my experience that temperature can affect the trip point of the pressure switches - especially at the change of seasons.  It generally takes about 500 psi to raise the gear, but at least 1100 psi to finally tuck every up tight.  Sometimes the mains and main doors close (reducing noise) before the anti-close nose-gear gas-spring allows the nose to finish up.  The gas-spring may also be affected by temperature - warmer creating greater spring pressure thus delaying the nose-gear.

Little leaks on the down side only get worse.  Same is true for the up-side.
