TPMS batteries last up to 10 years. They normally give a low battery warning on the Ipack. I'm being dense. What is the Ipack?
Also is it possible to change the batteries in the senders? |

| I have a false tyre pressure alert on my 16 plate MY15. I don’t know if is a fault or possibly an end of life sensor. Does anybody know how long the batteries in the TPMS sensors should last? |

You're probably right. Although last time, on my 57 plate model, the switch had actually fallen to pieces and I could still open the boot with the key fob.

Went to the stealers, left the car for two days and they couldn't find the intermittent fault.
Yesterday it started again.
The boot won't open either from the local switch or from the remote contro ... |

The sensor that I repaired in June 2016 was removed today when I replaced the tyres on my Freelander.

| That's very helpful thanks. If I have to replace the repaired sensor, will it need to be paired to my car? |

I had a puncture caused by a screw through the thread which the TPMS detected. So I removed the wheel and fitted my spare when I got home.
The damage was in the centre of the tyre so I took it to a ... |
