Re: TYre pressures?
same as the spec pressure on your sticker for a panel van or bus.
Ensure the max pressure on your tyre is not exceeded
FRONT: 2.5 bars (35 psi) REAR: 3.3 bars (47 psi) SPARE: 3.3 bars (47 psi).

Dont the charts near tyre gauges at garages have pressures listed?
pressure chart entries have long since gone for these vans.
please make sure the information is correct when quoting important things like tyre pressures.
If you don't know don't guess.

Re: TYre pressures?
Hmm... we were in the garage the other day having new tyres fitted, pressures as listed in the vehicle handbook (original, French edition) were 3 bar for the front and 3.7 bar for the rear (185r14).

Re: TYre pressures?
then like I posted those values in your handbook are correct for your van, whether it's on the van or in the service book.
my van sticker is 2.7 & 3.3 for instance.
The values I posted earlier were taken from the wiki.
