Have just bought a set of 19" alloys on fleabay to use as winter wheels..however my car has the TPMS fitted and there are no sensors in the wheels I bought... I have no intention of spending big money putting them in therefore the question is will the car accept this without going bananas with low pressure/fault warning alarms every time I jump in and drive off???

Should just have the light come up

You'll get a warning message in the dash display and the yellow tyre light will flash.

It drives me mad, bacuse mine is faulty and claims to fail every 5 minutes, but I've been told it can't be disabled if it's fitted due to some daft ruling by LR that it's a fundamental safety feature!
Funny how you can get a car without them if it's fundamental!  Got - 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black

Bloody typical!!!...new sensors cost an arm and a leg

I got sensors off eBay - about 15 quid each - Jaguar 433MHz ones

Thanks Alistair...I have mailed the E-bay seller just to make sure that the valves are compatible with the MY11 RR

I have TPMS on my Evoque 20" wheels and bought a set of winter wheels to put 19" ice and snow tyres on. I wanted to fit the TPMS sensors to the new wheels........... "that will be £220 for 4 sensors, valves and the special washers, Sir!" Then I was told by the supplying dealer that they didn't know which type of sensors they are as LR has two types now - some have to be programmed to the system so they can recognise the serial number of which wheel sensor is in which corner - that's a day trip to the dealership, same when you take them off in the spring and fit your summer wheels. That I believe is the system FFRR's have........... Evoque fortunately has a different system that doesn't need a trip to the dealership, you just need lots of patience as you have to fit one wheel and new sensor, wait 15 minutes, drive car for 15 minutes, let car stand for 15 minutes then fit the next wheel/senosr according to the owner's manual - each wheel has to be done one wheel at a time! 2012MY RREvoque Dynamic Lux Plus Auto SD4 Coupe in Fuji White with full ebony interior

Thanks Tim...I had a feeling it wouldn't be as simple as just fit and go!!!

Not sure about MY2011, but on my 2007 they are self recognising - you just drive a few miles and it figures it out.

Hi Alistair...Have just checked handbook and it would appear that the MY11 is exactly the same as yours and that the car should detect the sensors after a couple of miles. I think I will buy the valves and give it a try.

valves are £6.74+vat each if wanted a price www.duckworthparts.co.uk

TPMS can be disabled if you have access to a Faultmate.  Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
