My answer was,just be careful where you jack it.
To their credit,they had the handbook out but couldn't quite understand it,so they came over to ask me,and i showed them what to do(pretty well explained in the manual,but it still had them confused)
Three weeks later one of the tyres was low and i found the leak where the valve stem went through the rim.
On returning to the tyre shop they admitted they had not used new valve stems.They replaced them all at no cost.
It just shows,once again, you have to check EVERYTHING yourself or it never gets done properly:mad:
It takes time but eventually you find competent LR 'providers' like tyre and alignment shops etc. I have a good one but must drive 9km each way to get it done, OR I set the D3/4 to tight tolerance and send the customer off to get it done. If I prebook they are waiting only a short time, enjoy a coffee etc and They then return to me where I reset it back and they are on their way.
It is gold to find a place to rely on...:D

Sorry that I confused you. I was actually referring a "wheel alignment". Not a "tyre alignment". As a rule it is wise to have the wheels aligned when new tyres are fitted.
Re: Tyre pressure monitoring. There are a few different systems and some invlove sensors fitted to the rim and inside the tyre. These types are at risk when a tyre is changed. Especially if the tyre fitters don't know that they are there.
