| Anyone know what the pressure should be at the Schrader valves under load (sat on the wheels) and no-load (wheels jacked off the floor) conditions? Mine is a Rover 1.1L 1993. |

My Book says - assuming it's all standard and at design height of 341 +/- 10mm (wheel centre to arch) when cold and sat on ground Hydrofluid of 315psi +/-3% is required.
Off the ground is pointless (pressure at valve wont be any different) but you have to carry out pump up/setting of suspension with car on level ground, in neutral etc.

Location: Jelling, Denmark | My pump is very old so the pressure gauge may not be accurate but when i did the lowering of my a-series tje pressure at normal height before lowering was 350psi and after rod shortening 550psi. |

And of course if your Cans are suffering from loss of Nitrogen it needs more pressure on fluid side to compensate - up to the point when all you have left (a sign of nitrogen depletion) is hydraulic lock and no bounce effect on the suspension.
So each car needs its own solution really.
