Hi All
We've had two "sort of" pictures in the last two weeks. Both in modern cars fitted with tyre pressure warning lights. The first was in my daughters car and it proved to be a slow puncture. No spare but it held up until she got home and had it sorted. The second I'm a bit ashamed about. We've owned a new Audi A1 for nearly two years and I don't really treat it with the same respect I treat the RK. I hadn't checked the tyres since we bought it. Anyway the warning light came on at about 10.30 one night miles from anywhere. Eventually found a closed garage with an air pump that was still working. Hmm there was only 25psi in the front tyres and 28 in the rears (should be 36 and 32 respectively). I think the pressure must have slowly decreased as having pumped the tyres up they've stayed inflated for the last week. The bigger embarrassment was the length of time it took me to reset the warning light! I had to resort to reading the tomb of instructions in the glove box and gradually going through a whole page of instructions, all by the light of my mobile phone.
Cheers
