Stupid!

Decided check spare wheel tyre pressure whilst at petrol station, struggled hold up boot floor ( stuff in there) plus hose wasn’t quite long enough, somehow managed break valve off letting tyre down completely!!!
It’s snapped above hex nut of TPMS.

You'll need a new TPMS valve and have the tyre taken off to have the sender replaced i'm afraid.

You’re lucky it was only the spare - I managed it with one on the car - just before we set off on holiday with the boot loaded to the roof Evil or Very Mad

The TPMS valves are a crap design and prone to corroding and snapping

After snapping a second, I bought an IID tool to disable TPMS and had rubber valves put in.

If buying valves from eBay then make sure they are UK/European ones - 433mhz IIRC - there are people selling US ones (416mhz or something like that)

You can buy just the valve body as a repair part.
Its obvious how it goes together once you see it and it saves all faff of coding the new sensor 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

Thanks for replies, my TPMS has never worked on the road wheels ( different style to spare) so obviously not coded to car, the spare did work but as no warning after the disaster assume the batteries dead now so think ill just get a rubber valve fitted and forego the TPMS on it, quicker and cheaper.
Did find replacement valve body only spares on the Bay if did decide go that route.
Cheers

Hi Alistair
How did you turn off the TPMS? Have a SnapOn Verus, and can not find how to do it. Changed wheels that have normal valves, TPMS light and message driving me crazy Big Cry
