What will a new set of sensors and valves cost me?

Get ready to

Same thing happened to me the night before a holiday with the boot loaded too the roof

Get an IID tool and turn the bloody thing off !

stick rubber valves in and as suggested switch off the tpms with an iidtool.. ... - .- -.

If I decide to persevere with the punishment does anyone know the correct part number for an 07 TDV8, also is the sensor on the spare the same part

ask ducky dan, he will give you a competative price as well.. ... - .- -.

Yes, spare is the same. Dealer price is around £60 each, i got 4 off the bay for £35 total, although they've gone up now:

I bought some TPMS valves off ebay over a year ago. Had them as spares (originals have a habit of snapping off when you check pressures) until I changed tyres which I did recently. Fitter put them in for no charge. Valves working fine and no more intermittent TPMS errors. Took a few days to settle down but all well now. 2012 5.0L S/C

Decided to go with new ones supplied by local independent. £180 plus £136.50 fitting including vat. I was slightly concerned the ones off ebay could be old stock.

If anything happens to these I'll be going for rubber valves.

Spoke to Dan earlier too. Top fella by the way

Oh and the guy that sold it to me chased me up for eBay feedback today. I told him to off and himself for a couple of days till I calm down

Update : The seller has paid me half the cost to replace all 5 valves [/b][/u]

Ok this is beyond a ing joke now. Just picked the car up having paid £316.50 for the pleasure of having the valves and censors replaced, halfway home and the front offside tyre decides to deflate. The valve seems extremely loose. Is this usual in a deflated tyre?

if the valve is loose thats where the air is escaping...try tightening it up. ... - .- -.

Wouldn't make any difference at the mo as I don't have a pump with me. If when the recovery get here it turns out to be the valve again, my hourly rate for sitting here on my arse for another 2 hours is going to make theirs seem like minimum wage. This has just cost me dinner out with my daughter which I don't get to do very often and I'm seriously un ing happy

Back home now. Anger is somewhere between volcanic and don't let me near any sharp objects or someone will get hurt.

So the upshot is the £316.50 I paid today for the valves and fitting did not include tightening them up. My daughter was in the car with me and we were doing about 50 when it decided to go, thankfully I was able to get off the main road fairly quickly although it appears not without at least some damage to the tyre wall. Livid doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now.

The recovery guy tightened them all up with a pair of pliers and got me on my way in a matter of a few minutes but 21/2 hours waiting.

I'm not quite sure what my next step is but this particular Landrover specialist better hope I've calmed down by the morning.
