Help needed to switch off TPMS

Just had my wee sister on the phone. Her TDV8 Vogue is throwing up TPMS errors. The valve stems are corroded I believe.
Is there anyone near LANGLEY that could switch the error off for her?
Cheers.

I asked Guy Salmon, Thames Ditton, Surrey, to turn it off when it was serviced, they said it couldn't be done ? but, it would not fail the MOT due to the 'intermittent warning light/message.

IIDTool can switch it off.
There's no way an MOT inspector can tell it's been disabled, but my local dealer said they wouldn't disable what they considered to be an essential safety feature. Load of BS, since not all models have it! Whistle Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

A word of caution, if the car was first used on or after 1 Jan 2012 the TPMS system if fitted is testable as part of an MOT. ie the warning light has to operate correctly and not show a fault.

I don't see how that can be tested by an MOT tester, since, once it's been disabled, there are no indications of any kind. Even when it is enabled, I don't recall there being an indication when the car's switched on, but I could be wrong. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I was told last week by an MOT tester that VOSA have changed their minds again and TPMS warning light was now just an advisory (again) Mike

It's still listed in the MOT Inspection Manual as a testable item.

If the valve stems are corroded, change them ASAP. Corroded valve stems will not be causing the error, but they could snap off with minimal effort (e.g. checking the tyre pressure as they did on mine). If the valve stems are corroded, it may be worthwhile raising this with your local dealer - mine were replaced no questions asked, even though the car was out of warranty.

I recently had an intermittent problem with my TPMS. Eventually I opted for a new control module, which fixed the problem. ISTR it was about £200 fitted.

They are getting them replaced, but not with TPMS valves. It's a late 2007 tdv8.
Was hoping someone could help switch off the warning. Previously..
