It's obviously been disconnected and cut off for several years, just unsure what it may of been used for.

Thanks for that. Perhaps it was disconnected when it had the wheels changed, which would of been in 2013 I believe.

TPMS was an option up to 2014MY when it became a legal requirement on all new cars. You may find if you go through your car's listing in ToPix that the original owner specced it and later changed the wheels and found out how darned expensive the in tyre sensors were back then and how complicated it was to set up new sensors! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Just signed up to TOPlx, put in my vin number but apart from basic details can't seem to find anything about original spec details, what was interesting to see that build date was started in June 2008, but it's first registration was in Jan 2009.

In the UK if you remember White was not a popular colour in 2006/7, especially as the first white that LR used for RRS was Chawton White which might really have been called Cream or "Old English White". 2007 was the first of the "bright" whites that LR used for RRS and FFRR and then suddenly White became the new Silver 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

If it had TPMS fitted when built would it not have a Switch similar to the one pictured on the far Left of the Switch Pack next to the DSC Switch

The switch on the Right is the Forward Alert Switch if you have ACC fitted.

Forward alert switch on L320 RRS is a smaller button with a light in it to tell you that something has been detected within the scanning area. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

According to Drivers Hand Book the Switch with the Triangle and Car in Centre Icon is the Forward alert On/Off Switch.

If you don't have the Extra Switches on the Steering Wheel either, I would imagine you don't have ACC. or someone has changed the Steering Wheel for some reason.
