changing the tyre pressures shouldn't make THAT much difference.

As posted above,lower them to around 29psi!

Sounds like you paid £1850 too much for the car! Sounds like a bag of s**t and the previous owner a complete muppet!


You need to get clued up on mechanical stuff my friend or this G40 is gonna kill you!
