Talk about non-Bongo stuff. BUT KEEP IT CLEAN....there are children watching. Smut, filth, and anything offensive will not be tolerated and removed immediately.

A very good point. I was really thinking of the older vehicles, which did come fitted with one.

As an aside, the lady who lives next door to us is not badly off - she is a solicitor - and she runs a brand new Range Rover Evoque. A couple of weeks ago I commented that it came fitted with winter tyres (she didn't know they were) and the conversation came around to pressures. She was quite open about the fact that she never checked them "because they are done when it is serviced".

In the good old days before Self Service filling stations/garages, the pump attendant would check customers tyres/oil and some even cleaned the windscreen.

Now ( if appropriate) you just need to press a button on the dash and look at your tyre pressures.
