Book says 2.7bar front, 2.5 rear -seemed a bit high I thought......

After remedial work (see brakes thread) Main Dealer say tyre pressures too high and have lowered them all to 2.1 bar all four -who do we beleive???

Have a close look at your tyres. Where are they most worn; centre or shoulders, or one shoulder in particular?


Bit early to tell in 1800 miles!!

But thanx for the feedback.

You're going to love this.....

Wife been back to sort out ongoing probs (wind noise around driver's A-post since they sorted gap out at rear of windows and sound of chipmunks (her words..) coming from engine on cold start -replaced belt tensioners before, now replaced belts -they've done about £1500 of remedial work so far)and she queried the tyre pressures again.

I'm still rocking with laughter.....

"Those are Italian tyre pressures for a hot climate madame. We recommend 30 psi/2.1 bar all around....."

"But we're in England," she pointed out, "and the instruction book is printed in English".

What are these guys on.......
