Steelmate TP-71P. Been on for about a week. Powered by cig lighter. Works great and accurate. Seller reckons tyre sensor batteries will last 5 years.

I am quite interested in this, thanks for sharing, bettter than the Land Rover system in that you get actual pressure readings. The steelmate UK website seems to offer good value to for around 80 quid.

What I like is installed in less than 3 minutes and just drive,nothing to turn on or connect to or change screen to see.
I was surprised to see that tyre pressures went up 4 psi after 15 minutes of driving.Black pack, Traxide D4-1U with jumpstart, Whispbar Rack, Nanocom, 285/50r20 Cooper LTZ's, Side steps, NZ spec-no DPF.

TPMS avoided a flat on the road
I fitted the Steelmate TPMS kit at the beginning of the week. Good value pice of kit and not obtrusive:
The replacement caps are not very big and quite discrete:
I noted the rear was showing a low pressure today and found this screw in the tyre:
I am very pleased I made the purchase, not the first time TPMS has saved me a flat on the road.
I am off to Guildford Tyres first thing tomorrow, hopefully it will be an easy repair...., only done 7500 miles on them.2016 D4 Landmark

Had the tyre repaired early today by Guildford Tyres, back home by 09.00 cost £21.00. I drove down to the New Forest and back, all the tyre pressures spot on. Great safety feature!2016 D4 Landmark
