Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I'm just interested to see if anyone else has experienced the same issues as me. We have a 3 month old RR Evoque SD4 fitted with 20 inch wheels. Ive run winter wheels and tyres now for the past 6 years and had a spare set of 18 inch wheels and tyres on our previous Audi Q5. So I did the same with our Evoque and bought a set of nearly new 18 inch wheels off ebay (genuine Land Rover wheels) and bought brand new Conti Winter Tyres (as per the recommended list from landrover). What I didnt take into consideration was the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System thats actually built into the valves. Obviously the new wheels are not fitted with the sensors on the valves and therefore the dash is now coming up with a system fault and constant warning message which cannot be removed, cancelled or switched off.
After discussions with the dealer, they are saying either put up with it, or pay £150 (per valve!) plus fitting for the genuine landrover valves. Which is ridiculous. A quick search online has found these at near £20 per valve

I just wondered if anyone had experience of fitting these and whats needed for configuration?
Cheers
