Anyone?

Particularly interested in response times, and internal or external preference with the aftermarket ones.

I have an after market set up on my race Defender, which is great and gives temp as well as pressure.

007 has it on his Monaro. I think he has temp as well.

I have the internal type called Tyresure, i think the same as 007 (also a Monaro)
The small LCD screen is hardwired into the power, so its dead when turned off but it fires up and detects all 4 sensors in about 1-3 mins and displays pressure and temp with user settable alarms for both.
it's saved me from driving on slowly deflating tyres a number of times.

(about £160 for the kit)

Doh! Silly me laugh

Haven't had mine fitted that long so can't comment...

But according to Here. They should last 7 years confused ...

at 30 quid a pop they had better last more than a year!

I use the above, saves having the tyres taken off to mount the sensors, just as good IMHO.

Tyrepal is the one I use on the Defender, if they don't fall of off road racing they get my vote and............. we are about to become agents for them.

Just a thought, but what's the deal with fault finding these? Does the system self diagnose or does it need a trip to a qualified dealer with another gadget to re programme after a fault, or after replacing the batteries, for instance.
