Have you got your boat engine in the front with spares in the boot
.Or you have got some serious tight bushes.
65 was always fine for the P38 when ran on the emergency Schrader's.

That's interesting J. The car's usually full of stuff, but not particularly heavy. I've installed a second 90lts LPG tank in there, to supplement the 90lts donut-tank where spare wheel used to squat, but it's yet to be plumbed-in.Have you got your boat engine in the front with spares in the boot

Not that I know anything about EAS as my tratter-throwback P38 has coil springs, but the workshop manual says the EAS compressor is set to 145 +/-7.25 psi, so presumably the space-hoppers at each wheel (and the rest of the system) will take that pressure?

They're genuine Dunlops all round. When I pump up with a PROPER compressor, they rise very quickly. My toy one I use all the time is a low volume one, so takes a while.
That's for the tank. the bags shouldn't see that under normal running. Maybe more if towing a trailer due to tow ball wt but really shouldn't need the full puff

It's frequently towed up to about three tons quite happily over long distances John. One day well over 600 miles fully laden with a boat for half the distance. I'm determined to get it back on air again ASAP. Ineed to go see William at Lincoln soon. Saw Neurosurgeon yesterday. He's very concerned about numbness - or was it numb nuts?! He's arranging urgent MRI and alerting Orthopaedic surgeon for he says likely another prolapsed disc needing sorting. Maybe I should get Schrader valves in L3, L4, L5 & S1...and one between my legs...but NOT at 135psi! Hahaha...
That sounds a lot in the rears. I think the bags are only rated to maybe 120 psi but check specs online if you can find them.
When using emergency valves the car dips as the weight transfers around. I found it best to put 50 to 55 psi in each corner and then add 5 psi at a time to each corner. About 80 psi should be enough.

Agreed.None of that should make that much difference, in my opinion
J
Something is wrong there. Is there a lot if weight in the back?

Not on my P38...
You take it steady Mike. If they sort one out for between legs give us a bell
Pressure drops off with distance and it is a square rule so you won't see anything like that at the bags, especially with those 6mm lines.

If it goes pop, you'll likely hear it in Rotherham John!
