Checked the tyre pressures for the first time today on SWBO's fairly new Aygo - handbook states 32psi, local Toyota garage had set them at 43psi...........:eek:

Not impressed to say the least... luckily she dosen't do any motorway miles just potters around locally.

More like had not bothered checking them at all - most new cars arrive to dealerships with above 40psi in them.

another favourite not to check is , spring chocks , seen a few Ford Focus ST170s with the chocks still in , not from our dealership , one of them was on its second service before it was seen , the chock had snapped the ABS wiring loom

We had an A6 come in, the new owner thought the ride was a bit harsh - 60,000 miles and the N/S spring block was still in place :thumbup:

Best check for that as well then.... what would I be looking for, or is it bloody obvious?

The same is true after servicing - I've had dealers who just put all the wheels at 30psi whatever the manufacturer says. After picking one car up froma service I drove on a B road I know well and scared myself silly!
