As I've mentioned earlier this is our first van and so it's a very steep learning curve.
I had the need to take it to the dealers last week for some work, and although I went through all the pre-run checks ( so I thought ) it was very quickly clear as we joined the motorway that I hadn't as the back of the car was "bouncing" at the slightest surface deviation and I'd made sure the van wasn't too nose heavy.
It dawned on me that I'd forgotten to change the tyre pressures of the car, and this I did at the services which were just a couple of miles along the journey. After that it handled correctly,,, how many of you have fallen into the same trap I wonder.
I now have a "Pre-flight" laminated check list so I won't be caught out again.
