But what do i Do with TPMS, i think i have to use special valve for it, can i order them separately at LR?

You can use normal valves but there will be an error message in the instrument panel saying TPMS not working - have a look in the handbook it explains about it very clearly.

Only going on the info I have had from garage in BI and my sales agent in MG.

i had 17" rims on for off road playtime with AD on my vehicle and can confirm that it works well

Sounds good, just not sure if they are 100% legal for road use!

The RRE order guide states that only 18" and above should be used - i've posted the actual wording before. Smaller will fit however, if you have to make a warranty claim I'm sure LR would pick up on it.

Hi, could you encourage my laziness by reposting or linking to your post of the order guide. Thanks

Checked with Land Rover and they told me that 17" are fine with AD. Although not sure how they'd look?

You can buy TPMS sensors and fit them to most wheels, I brought 4 sensors from Lookers Park Royal and the tyre guys at my local tyre centre fitted them to my 19" winter wheels and tyres - I was expecting to have to run them like the manual states but they said no need, they are not very sophisticated just drive off and the system should work fine. So I did and it does!
