Tyre sensor replacement

[steveatesh]

As is the way of things a month after my warranty expired my TPMS is indicating a fault on the front near side tyre pressure sensor.

Am I right in thinking the sensor operates on a battery and that once one goes we can expect the rest to go too? I am asking because I don't know whether to get it done now or wait in case the rest follow and get them all done together?

Also, any idea on how much it is to have one or more replaced?

Vantage MY 2010.

Steve.....do you have a good relationship with your Dealer ??

Lol, yes I have an approximate which included £130 per hour plus vat to just diagnose plus labour to fit, , plus parts about £200 per sensor. Hoping somebody might have had one done at an Indy I can consider.

Right thanks for all that everybody and the link, that seems much more reasonable. I'll check locally if anybody can fit one and take it from there.

Thanks for the suggestion Jock about reasonable life, dealer didn't suggest it but you are right, I should have asked. Doh!

On this getting a local Tyre fitter is there a risk to diamond cut wheels at all, I mean ruining them or scratching them? Or are the likes of Kwik Fit, National Tyres etc well able to deal with diamond cut wheels with no risk ?
