Can anybody please tell me what the tyre pressures for a 1985 Classic should be? Standard 205/16 tyres. Is there an owners handbook available anywhere on the net?
Thank you

I can not help for a 1985 Classic specifically but the Land Rover Experience book (first edition 1993, page 114) states the following for the RaRo Classic Michelin 205R 16 XM+S244 TL and GoodYear Wrangler 205 R16 tyres Hard road front axle 1.9 bar, rear axle 2.1 bar. Tracks and poor roads (up to 40 mph maximum speed) front axle 1.6 bar, rear axle 1.9 bar Off road emergency flotation (up to 12 mph maximum speed) front axle 1.2 bar, rear axle 1.2 bar
hope this helps and Happy New Year Pantelis
25 psi front, 35 psi rear should be about right.
I've got an owners handbook of about the right year if you want it.

25/35 for all load conditions, IIRC.On or around 05 Jan 2004 20:02:27 GMT, snipped-for-privacy@aol.com (M0bcg) enlightened us thusly:
that's what I run on the disco. But it ain't what the book says. However, tyre wear seems to indicate that I'm right and the book's wrong.
Thanks for the help.
I have been running them at about 3 bar because we had a full load with roof tent and fridge etc on gravel roads. The tyres claim their max load is at 3.5 bar (Michelin). I am allergic to Michelin ( vehicle came with 5 of which I have shredded 3 - always on the rear) Tending towards Bridgestones since they have a greater load rating - 108 as opposed to the 104 of the Goodyears and Michelins.
Nick, Thanks for the offer of the handbook. Would be appreciated. How would you send it? Scan and email?
I was thinking more of just posting the whole thing.
Let me know your address and I'll out it in the post.
