I have just had this warning flash up on the dash as I was parking the car tonight. I have looked around the car and the tyres appear to be in good shape. The car has only done 11k miles, and has been treated well (no track days etc). I restarted the engine and on the restart the warning popped up again. Any idea what the problem is? Faulty sensor or something really wrong?? If there was a puncture would it not tell me what wheel etc?

many thanks in advance for any advice

A large nail had gone through the back tyre. I took it to Kwik Fit and they managed to fix it for £18... smile
however (perhaps inevitably) they said that i would need a new set of tyres... Total cost £815... frown

The car has only done 11,000 well cared for miles so i am slightly surprised it needs a new set of tyres. Is this an unusually low mileage? If not, is the price reasonable?

thanks again!
