Look on the Frequently Asked Questions topic, on the front page.
There you have several links to TPMS topics.
I can remember one providing great detail about replacing the sensors/batteries, at a much reduced cost.

In the UK, if your car was new before a certain date, you are not legally required to have TPMS, even though it was an OEM fitment.
Of course in that case, you need to be a very regular checker of pressures.

You could just by-pass it and buy a little gizmo for about £20 off Aston Installations that disables the system by linking in a wire just under the glove box. I did this as soon as I bought my car and never looked back.

This.

I made the choice between that or best part of a grand to replace the sensors. No brainier really.

The TPMS Defeat was first designed for me by an Aston Martin Master Technician several years ago and I've sold a ton of them since. Aston Installations are my distributor in the UK/EU and can get you sorted quickly.

I believe the best thread that has all the info is the one VernierMike and myself put together, you should find all the info there.
