I keep hearing this but nothing specific about what actually goes wrong with it. So in what way is it a pain?

The valves corrode and are susceptible to snapping off - as happened to me whist adding air - cue instantly flat tyre.

Exactlly Alistair. Kooky Guy, I dont like things not working either but in my experience of TPMS it only worked without fault around 10-15% of the time I had it. Constantly chasing faults It was on a Jag XF but its the same system on a Fatty. You can enjoy your Fatty as it is or reactivate the TPMS and quickly hate it. 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal |

Fair enough! I know I don't have the valves fitted anyway. I'll just stick with my trusty pressure guage. 2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE |
