Squeaking driving us nuts

Hi all Had the bus a couple of years now and in that time the bus always squeaked a little over bumpy uneven surfaces, I assumed if it was serious that the fault would be picked up in the MOT but it never was.

Found the problem, 40 psi in one and 20 in the other :roll: . Can't blame the pump though as I also found a dirty great screw in my new tyre :(

Back up to kwik fits then.

Cheers guys.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Anti freeze? the expansion tanks empty and he said last time they topped it up the water felt oily, I very much doubt the anti freeze has been kept at the right concentration or even done.
