Well then......on my way to work this morning and guess what flashes up??? Well judging by the title of the thread you don't need to be Einstein! TPW Yellow warning triangle and in the info centre a picture of all four tyres saying "check all tyre pressures". Now I'm thinking three things:
1. Bollox, that puncture I almost had a week or two ago must have given way!
2. Bollox, I must have a new actual puncture.
3. Bollox, its that friggin ICTP chucking another issue at me.
So I get to a safe place (en route to work) jump out and check all the tyres. All appear inflated, so can't be point 1. Check for any penetrative damage....no nails or other debris, so can't be point 2. Must be that barsteward ICTP, but need to rule it out. So got my inflator out to check the pressures......door shut label states 34-43 psi depending on load being carried. So I connect the pressure gauge and first tyre registers 30.5 psi! Hmm a bit low, so topped it up. Second tyre was at 31psi topped up this one too. Found tyres three and four at same pressures as the first two.
So it was with massive relief and pleasure that I didn't have a puncture nor have an ICTP issue, but the car warning system had actually worked!!!! HIP HIP...HOORAY!!
