fault or low tyre pressure???
« on: November 13, 2013, 11:47:17 am »
the dash board light is on, ive just changed the wheels from 225/45/17 to 225/40/18 would this just be a tyre pressure problem?

if so what psi should I have in the new tyres?

It's cause you've changed wheels mate... The PSI will be on the side of the tyre and in the filler cap IIRC

Just hold the tyre set button in for a while till the light goes off  :happy2:

38/40 I put in the 18's... once pumped, hold down the button until the light goes out. :happy2:

I've always done it with the car running, but probably does it with just the iginition on.
