Right noticed on saturday (when i was pumping the tires up) that i have different PSI measurements in each tyre, will this effect the drive in anyway?
F/N/S 41
R/N/S 51
F/O/S 40
R/O/S 41
But if i only blow them all up so that all got at least 40 PSI will this be ok?

FFS it's dangerous.
Go and sort them out NOW, lunchtime, when ever you get in that car next.
I'll say it in big:
32 on the fronts
30 on the rears

Why did you pump them up to different levels anyway? Surely its common sense to put the same pressure of air in the same 'axle' set of tyres (front pair and rear pair)?

I see where you've went wrong from the other thread you've posted in.
It does not tell you on the sidewall, it will tell you a max pressure if anything on the sidewall.
