Does anyone know the part number for a MY12 D4?


Land Rover wants $155 each and $70 each consisting of 5 valve caps, I will need 2. I am looking for 6 TPMS.

Land Rover ones are not made by LR, they are actually a BMW product.

Here's the kit from tpmsdirect.com

Hi Baz,


Thanks for that. I have a TPM system already. Late August I will receive 6 18" Rims from Gordon and would like to fit them out with TP senders.


They are frequency specific. Just got hold of the Landrover part number from my Service Manager at the dealer, it is LR066378 and the frequency of operation is 433MHz. US and possibly other countries are 315MHz.


The link below is what I am after. LR Australia us making a healthy margin, but not as much as what VW wanted to charge me for my sensors from my pervious V10 Touareg, they wanted $460 each, I ended up with 5 units for $480 delivered.

So LR want $155ea for the sensors, compared to ?53.27 from the UK($108aud) + postage for the lot, cap included

What's the $70 for, just the valve cap, that little black plastic cap

Baz.

Just purchase 6 OEM units LR066378 433MHz senders including the stem screws delivered in 2-3 weeks out of the UK for a total price of AUD$265, $44 each, that's inline with US prices, but they are 315MHz.

The eBay seller communication was prompt and willing to help all the way through the transaction, She also set up a link to purchase 6 not 4 as listed.

So, I am giving Her a plug.

Redback, the Land Rover kit of valve screws is a kit of 5 stem screws, little caps and the valve itself, yes $70/kit, are they serious????? When I initially ordered Tyre pressure sensors, they state no problems with 6 units, that will be $70 each, but I got 6 bags each containing 5 screws, valve and cap.

Thanks for this guys, this has been on my to do list as well.

Just to clarify, do these sync up with the D4 fault/alerts system? And if so, does anything need to be done for that to work?

Hi Ben,

The LR TMPS is quite simple, when already fitted with antennas and TPMS option, new sensors sync up quite quickly. However, you can not set a lower pressure to be your new baseline. In other words, when off-road and the pressure is lowered, a pressure warning alarm is active. I think this comes up at about 33psi and lower.

Maybe someone could tell me otherwise. My previous Touareg had the ability to re-learn, thus a lower pressure can become the new baseline, great for resetting your alarm threshold.

I continuously rotate 6 tyres, each 10,00km never had a sync issue. Also TPMS also detects wheel carrier values.

Safety Dave has a system - they are blue tooth devices that sit on the air valve inlet. They have a pressure reader in them, and an LCD monitor to read the pressures. You can set I think down to 16 PSI. 8 sensors and the display cost $400 I think. It can handle more than 8 too. So you can put them on a trailer as well.

They don't read temperature, and are not rolls royce quality, more like Wolls Youce from China of course ...

Might do the job though.

I bought Tyre dog bluetooth TPMS direct from taiwan.
good price. Good quality. Psi and temp.readouts. alarm for both.
great customer service. No fuss firmware upgrade when needed.
