Have you considered new TPMS valves for your 22" and having it recalerbrated?

I'm not sure it would work, as the 22" tyres seem to need around 40psi, otherwise they virtually run on the shoulders.

This seems a common situation with this wheel/tyre size, as most owners seem to run their tyres around that pressure.

I don't know if this would cause TPMS to report that the pressures are too high, or if this is something else that could be recalibrated by someone in the know?

Might be worth asking BBS Solutions if it's something that can be done with their Faultmate MSV unit, then find someone who has one and is prepared to help.

It seems to be able to do most things dealers can do and more, maybe even calibrate tpms pressures to suit your wheels, don't know for sure.

Thanks - I've just sent a message to BBS asking whether this is possible, or whether the Faulktmate MSV can deactivate the system, or tell the car that it's not present.

I think a solution to the TPMS problem may be getting closer - reply from BBS is below:

The option to set this as 'not fitted' is available in the CCF and can be set using our Faultmate systems.

Can anyone recommend an independent in the South East, (near Staines/Heathrow ideally), who has a Faultmate?

I'm prepared to travel further afield if necessary.

Thanks,
Rob

Getting closer indeed.

Bodsy on here might be able to help, isn't not darn sarf though (shropshire). There may be others here who can provide a similar service and I don't know of any independents who have one.

Thanks, I'll give him a try.

It would be worth a 300 mile round trip, just to stop the

TPMS messages from flashing up every 5 miles!

The first 150miles will be a pain, the next 150 a pleasure then

I've just sent a message to James French, to see if they can help.

If you have a contact in Warwick, I'll give them a try as well?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no reply from James French, but all set for a trip to see Bodsey on Thursday morning, so hopefully an end to the

continual TPMS warnings is in site.

I'm also going to ask him to have a look at the steering position sensor, to see if recalibration is required, so fingers crossed this may sort out the unnecessary traction/skid control intervention.

That just leaves the noisey EGR valves, which I'll possibly take up with LR customer service and see what they say.

I may try and post a link to a recording of the noise, to see if you guys think it's excessive enough to require attention, even though they appear to be still working.

Thanks for all the help and advice so far.

Isn't anything an excuse ? Owners' manual states only Land Rover approved accessories should be plugged into cigarette lighters. I guess a phone charger or Sat Nav power lead would invalidate your warranty unless approved by LR ?
