Hi guys,

Got a few questions for you:

1) Nice and easy - what tyre pressures should I be running front/rear? I believe the fronts need a bit of air in them based on the below...

2) The underside of my car is ever so slightly scraping when it's being put in the garage (think of a car being beached). It never used to do this so I can only assume the ride height has dropped by the above. Can someone tell me what the two pipes that run up the underside of the car are? They go right down the middle and are visible if you look under - join into two canisters. Pretty sure that's what's catching the floor when I back in the garage.

3) Is there a rattle guide somewhere that someone can send me? I've got a korker behind the pax seat and one in the dash - driving me mad!! Narrowed the former down to either the speaker cover or something in the door.. My window is rattles when half up/down and i'd like to fix both.

TIA

Lewis

+1 on those pressures
The scrap is probably the plastic air flow disrupters infront of the front tyres.
I use them as early warning detectors for grounding laugh

Sorry - meant to say it's an 06 V8V with 14k on the clock now.

I did think it was the plastic parts at the front scraping but it's definitely the metal pipes in the middle. They are scraping my floor and have scrapes marks on them now.

RE rattles; i'm sure there was a guide somewhere on PH for Astons? Common problem areas etc.

RE me being lazy; i'm not that bad wink tyre pressurse are in the handbook i'm sure, but that's about 300 miles away from me at the moment and couldn't see anything obvious on Google! I'll go check what they are sitting at night and put them to 33/36 if they are not already.

Cheers guys.
