Different pressures would exagerate any differnce.

If yours is a 2WD, then no probs.

Also, have you noticed that most forecourt pumps are not calibrated. I've tried a couple on the same day (yes bored that day) and all gave different readings by quite a few PSI. Best get your own guage, at least then you'll have a consistent reading.

Hi Oli, Mines 2wd mate so no probs. I've got a handheld gauge that i use, the airline i use at my local garage is spot on with the handheld. DB.
