I KNOW what tyre pressure its saying on the inside of the door. What I'm saying is:-All the major garages say this IS wrong,and should only be 32 max,and wanted peoples opinion on this

Look on your tyre walls. It will tell you on there. Otherwise I generally go for 34 and 32.

From the Haynes manual
1.4 and 1.6 litre petrol models:
165/65 R 14 tyres............ 32 psi front - 29 psi back
185/55 R 14 tyres.............36 psi front - 32 psi back
195/45 R 15 tyres.............33 psi front - 29 psi back
cant be arsed copying out the 1.0 litre models

id go with the citroens door panel sticker its what the car was designed to run in its tyres and they proberly found it out through months of testing
most garages (including kwik fit where i used to work )put in about 30 as its the average tyre pressure for most cars so they assume wrongly that the saxo is the same
i wouldnt trust them as a result, plus garage forecourt gauges are usually inaccurate
buy your own foot pump or compressor and an electronic tyre pressure key ring from halfords for a few quid and check them yourself
