Off on a long trip to France with a full load, 5 peeps and a boot full. What would be a sensible tyre pressure front/rear on the standard 18' rims of the SE, thanks.
God, I hope we don't break down  2005 TDV6 SE Silver/Black Manual + Alpine

Front 33 lbs sq inch and Rear 42 lbs sq inch 18" standard wheels for 5 people and whole load of luggage.
If you do break down, you have enough people to push.

All pressures are on a handy sticker inside the drivers door frame... visible when you open the door. Also in the book.

Only trying to be helpful in the limited way I can... and I bet he has a Settings Menu though ???
Will stop being a boring and instead next time will offer some cynical and sarcastic remark to generate a giggle or two from everyone except the person with the question - whom it won't help of course 
LOL 
Anyway... will be off line for two whole weeks until we go on the off road mission... you will miss me of course and I will need to do a lot of catching up on the forum... and with the number of posts you have now !
Cheers,

I think you will need to deflate and reinflate the tyres once in France, as the air you have in at the moment will be in PSI, whereas in Europe I understand it legally has to be in bar. I think air compressed using bar involves French peasants trampling it in giant vats or something.
Vive le difference! (or is it la?)

Thanks for the info, if I sit down with D3 manual at this stage in the packing I'm likely to get my head removed by my better half.....I'd have to ask her where it is too . They'll be two adults and three childrens, not 5 elephants, so pushing 3 tonne isn't an option  .
Hopefully LRA are on their Tour De France at the mo' 2005 TDV6 SE Silver/Black Manual + Alpine

Familyman ignore the rest, just enjoy your holiday. The car will be brilliant. If it breaks down on a downslope who cares, coast in, but don't forget no power brakes and 2.7 tonnes takes a lot of stopping. Bon Voyage

yes, in France as in Europe (As more and more I do have doubts about England... ) the pressure is measured in Bar which are also defined as kg/cm2 (Metric system anyone ? ) thus it won't be to easy to find PSI measures...
And it is "Vive LA différence"... Do not forget the accent and the genre of the word, thanks ! Anyway, in that case, I fear that the one being different are comming from the northern side of the Channel... Hey, they even drive on the wrong side of the road !

No No No, we are on the correct side , even Japan, India and Aussie drive on the correct side. We give way at roundabouts . In Europe you hit people on the roundabouts  , if you see them  and can only wave your left arm , we can wave the correct arm, the right one - more impact .

Fortunately, I am here to correct your persepctive... What a job !
First, nowadays, at roundabout in France, the one who is in the roundabout normally has right of way... Few exceptions to that rule, the only one I know about is the traditionnal Place de l'Etoile in Paris...
As for the "right side" which IS in fact the RIGHT side... Even the Canadians who are part of the Commonwealth and the American (Who are not...) have understood that one... Surely, with a bit of help, you'll come to the RIGHT side in both senses of the word...

Gurvan,
clearly the heat in Senegal is getting to you...
The Japanese are acknowleged as being at the forefornt of technology and forward thinking... the Australians will follow anything that 'just makes sense' as for the divided northern province of america, well, once they decide upon which language to use.....
