I think SRRAE has this? How, where, when and how much?

Yes - how much?

 

I'm interested in the elctronic kit. I've seen this for about £225 before, but that seems a bit high to me.

Mine was £160 fitted I think, but I think the model I got has been superseeded by a newer one. I thought it was very good and very handy. It is amazing how much different the car handled when all the pressures where correct and symetrical. Having one of the rear down a 1 or 2psi makes a huge difference. As the temperature of your tyres increases so does the pressure, and you will find the pressure difference increases to 4 maybe 5 psi.

 

It also tells you of leaks. It will tell you when the pressure drops more the 3psi lower than what it should be even taking into acount temperature. For example I have had the rears up to 45PSI on a hot day and driving hard, if the pressure drops to 42 the alarm will sound, and will sound every 5mins or if it drops 1psi again. This will give you ample time to get it sorted. Other wise the only time you know the tyre is going down is when going round a corner, which is very dangerous.

 

I have taken mine off at the moment. The wire going to the unit from cig lighter had broke, because I kept taking it out and moving it around too much. Also 1 clip kept braking in the wheel so the sensor was rolling around, it wasnt 1 clip, but 1 clip at a time, but always a different wheel. It still worked though and didnt cause any damage with the clip broken in the wheel. Every time I went back to get it put back on, they said I was the only car this keeps happening too. Maybe a batch of clips?

 

I thought it was a great thing. I just have to repair mine.
