My new (to me) daily driver is another Range Rover but it came with some outrageously large wheels, 24 inch rims, which when driving about in North Devon not only looks stupid but is completely wrong. As the roads aren’t the best and these rims will be destroyed fairly quickly.
So with a look on eBay, gumtree and other similar sites I found a set of 20 inch wheels with fairly decent tires. But they didn’t have the TPMS fitted. Also they could’ve done with a paint, they were silver and black would look better on the car. So a quick drive down to a local tire place to take the tires off the rims, spray them black, and take them back to the tire place with new TPMS.
now this is the first car I’ve owned with the pressure tyre pressure monitoring system, there seems to be a lot of confusion on the various websites to if the car will recognise four new senses. I don’t know if Land Rover/range Rover is the same or different to other manufacturers. But it seems a lot of cars need to have each individual sensor reprogrammed, programmed, to the car. But I plugged my diagnostics into the Rover and as far as can tell it mentions it can learn the new tyre pressure sensors. And also shown the ID numbers of all five senses that are fitted on the wheels, the old wheels that is, at the moment.

I did write on each wheel the ID number of the TPMS that was, hopefully, fitted to that wheel.
Does anybody have an experience on this new witchcraft of the tyre pressure sensors.
