When I have had to service my cars I end up searching for the information. tyre pressures, engine oil capacity with oil filter etc.
I know some cars have the labels but do not own any. I placed a ebay ad to sell tyre pressure decal with the oil capacity on ebay. I wondered how many thought it was a good idea or if they would buy.
Are there any other information that you think would be helpful?

I think it's a good idea, but as you say the info is readily available in the owners handbook or online, which beggars the questions would people be willing to pay £5 + p&p for info so easily gotten for free?

Good Idea - Yes, handy to have
Other Details to Include - Bulbs, Oils, Coolants etc...

Would I pay for one - No, I have the handbook and my MX-5 already has the tyre pressure info stickers

I find it much easier to look for a sticker (either in the driver's door shut or under the petrol flap) than to hunt for the owner's manual.

So, yes, if you produced a cheap sticker that had the right information on, then I'd buy a couple.

The other sticker I'd like would be a "97 RON" sticker to go over the 95. Can't seem to find one of those.

I think that there is a bigger problem in that most of the stickers i have looked at existing are generic. e.g. a volvo v70 owner with several tyre sizes and tyre pressures. Also that he was using the high speed settings for all situations even though he was not using motorways...
