You fail to understand you cannot take the light out by adding air if battery in a sencor has gone as many will have due to them only lasting 5 or 6 years going to be a major problem soon . 99 ppercect of m o t and tyre places dont stock sencors // So if you got a light on dash youre in bother There is a major car that has just pulled out of country that its near impossible to get even a back bumper for expensive as well // now got only 3 service centres in britain one in glasgow one in leeds one in ireland , // i rang them and trird to get a back bumper they said nearest amsterdam cost £450 BUY british now Edited October 13, 2020 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest #16 Posted October 13, 2020 My car doesn't use sensors for tyre pressure, it uses an average of the road difference (or something) over the 4 wheels. There are no actual sensors in the wheels etc. If they it falls below a threshold the warning light comes on. Also wondering how this turned into a Buy British now rant? Many new main dealer parts like an entire bumper can quite easily cost several hundred pounds, it depends on the model and age usually.

Nobby Stiles 11 #18 Posted October 13, 2020 I would think most tyre places will fit these. Hawleys certainly do - they did some for me recently. They are around £80 to £90 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Indeed. Rather worrying that someone would drive around with such a light on without (a) checking their tyres and (b) getting the faulty sensor fixed, if its not working.

As for Infiniti, I can cound on one hand how many I've seen in the last 10 years, so hardly a major brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
