Hi Guys,

I don't have TPS on my vehicle (D4 2.7) and after getting two punchers on our last trip I think I miss the feature now. One was at highway speed towing the kamper so it killed the 3 week old Cooper AT3 by the time the suspension had worked out something was wrong and flashed a warning failure telling me to slow to 50km's. I stopped immediately thinking 'oh bugger what's up' which of course became painfully obvious when I got out to have a look. I had about 10 seconds of trailer sway before hand but it was all too quick to register the issue and slow enough to save the tyre.:(

Can TPS be retro fitted to the car, or what alternatives are there?

There is quite a nice one from land rover but is quite exy:

Tyredog is what most people seem to like:

I have a Tyredog TD1300 installed on my D4, works fine.

I know this is the Disco forum, but do you know if they make larger valve stems for the steel rims like on a Defender? I run tubeless but the valve stems are larger diameter, still same short length but fatter for a bigger hole in rim.
Thanks
