Tbh, shattered after doing Jig's arches and I had a Magners, or two. :oops:

Been off the nicotine for some time and had some 'rewards' today too, maybe that was it.

Sorry, my post was completely OT. :headbang:

They don't need programing as far as I know. They set themselves when driving.

[quote=""X5-MK""]Hiya fella

You can get the sensors from here:

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/tpms/h ... ms_sensors.

They were the cheapest I could find new. Code: RDE 003. Take it down to Kwik Fit and they will change it over for a few quid.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
the price i see on this page is £78 each. more expensive than stealership. they wanted £65 each

i hope they behave for a while. i got so much on my plate right now i cant even think about dealing with PDC. still got a lot of the mods i have puchased sitting in the garage waiting for me to get to them. i got the bull bar wrapped with carbon fiber and it will go on the X this week. that looks like a promising mod. but i want these tpms fixed as well. thats the only thing that beeps at me in the car so got to get it done soon as well

Stealer £65 + £95 labour = £160
Diy £78 + £20 labour kwik fit = £98

i found this web site http://www.rmeuropean.com/cart.aspx
they have it for $59.. should i get the screw on valves as well or just use the old ones. they are about $14 each.
i was thinking if i could not get it from this website i could just buy it from the stealership and get it done at kwik fit still?

If you can get them for £65 from stealers and fitted at KW, then happy days. :thumbsup:

my only worry was the reprogramming but if that is not the case than i would buy the part from the stealership and have it done elsewhere. thanks
