That's a very good question Austin. I don't have the details to hand but
I'd imagine it covers things like failing to work as described 'on the
box' and any damage caused to the tyre by any failure of the product.

Currently around ten pounds per tyre, so it's usually best applied to a
new tyre. Apart from the usefulness of preventing punctures and of
course the safety aspect, maintaining correct pressure throughout the
life of the tyre is quite likely to increase the life of the tyre as
well. The service is carried out by franchised providers such as
Continental Tyres, Lewis Land Rover in Swansea, Chuker's of Shrewsbury
and others.

It'd be handy on the inner wheels on the back of the bus, which are a pain
to check. In fact, none of the dual wheels are *easy* to check.

OBLandRover: Just fitted a set of Santana series dampers to the bus. Rear
ones look to extend a bit further which may give a bit more axle travel,
(hope the brake pipe's long enough...) while the fronts don't extend quite
as far. I don't think rear ones will fit on the front, though, I think they
don't compress short enough.

I'll see how they go. Might be worth getting some better-quality ones if
they work decently.

nah, some other git beat me to that one. This is an LDV convoy. It does in
fact have 4 driven wheels, just they're all on the same axle...

This sounds like a crisis Austin. No 4x4 Transit and you're selling the
Disco !

Any plans to get re-Land Rovered ?
