Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted February 10, 2005 D'oh! Bit of a pisser that mate. Happened to me years ago. Heart booked a holiday to Bali and I was incontinent for 3 months. And that was only on a Grifter back tyre! :shaking: Would've made a good avatar pic if you'd captured your face when that thing went bang! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 10, 2005 I think you need to invest in a decent tyre pressure gauge! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 10, 2005 oops! Which garage was that at? (Just so I can avoid it! :lol: ;) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 10, 2005 The other thing to remember when checking tyre pressures is heat (from rolling friction) expands the air inside the tyre, increasing the pressure....so always check the pressures when stone cold, ie in the morning before you drive it. As an example, I discovered I get 32psi in the morning and 36 psi after 10 mins driving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbob1970 0 Posted February 10, 2005 You actually found a garage that had a working airline?!!!..... I ended up buying my own pump and gauge, because all of the local garages have broken airlines, that they don't bother to fix! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up buying my own pump and gauge, because all of the local garages have broken airlines, that they don't bother to fix! Same here... I bought an electric pump and my god are they cr@p! LOL! OK for inflating an air bed, but pumping up a tyre takes forever! My bicycle pump inflates a car tyre quicker than those electric ones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted February 10, 2005 The garage down the road has one of them computer controlled jobbies that you type in the pressure and it beeps when it's done. It's also in fairly good condition too cos you have to pay 20p for it, so people go use the shagged old thing at Tesco for free instead. Top tip: Remember it's 30psi not BAR ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can think of at least 4 / 5 garages round here with programmable auto air lines that are free to use... mind you we pay London prices for everything else :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted February 11, 2005 Yeah, but the point is because you have to pay to use it, nobody does... which means it's still in pretty good condition ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 12, 2005 must are electric now and cut out at required pressure... guess urs wasn't Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
