Curious. I inflate my tyres to 33/36 as recommended, yet every time the car comes back from the dealership (which is more often than I'd like, but that's another thread), they are inflated to about 31 all round. Is there something I should know?

Unless you tyre pressure guage stops reading above 31psi, that means that someone at your dealership is doing a scensorede job.
Even allowing for any inaccuracies between different guages does not account for why they're all the same. The rear pressures should be higher than the fronts.

I'd have a moan at the service manager. It's pathetic (and also likely to hit YOU in the pocket in fuel and tyres)!

I´ve never had to put air in my DB9 tyres.

Never had to put oil or windscreen washer in the car either.

Am I the most boring driver currently on the forum ??? smile

No noticeable change in pressures.

A propos oil checking, I do check it quite regularly, hence my resurrection of the wet sump / dry sump issue. I´ve just never had to put any in !!!

As for staff.....nope.....but I wish I did smile
