    after market tyre pressure sensors?

    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:

    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
    James
