Out of a matter of interest. What do you do when you go offroading? Just switch it off?

I just lower the alarm threshold or silence the alarm.Quote:

For extended trips at low pressure, I lower the LP limit to 2 psi below the level I'm using.
BTW, Externals are great... Easy to install/use/battery change and never had one tampered with.

Hi Simon,
I got your message.
My TD 2000 A support 6 wheels.
There is no relay in this package.
I am not sure doesn't your car need relay?
If you are sure your car do not need relay, I will send paypal to you directly.
It's AUD 280 inculded shipping via EMS.

Her email address is:

The ebay store she has is:
eBay My World - tiffany280
They seem to be based out of Taiwan, I guess this is where they are built. The order time to delivery was about 5 days to the middle of the Pilbara - not bad at all. I did not need a relay in the end as they are required for applications over 10m from the sensor.
I've had Tyredog system for over 3 years now, purchased from a groupbuy via this site. Had no problems whatsoever, pressure accuracy within half a psi and temp readout actually shows a couple of degrees difference depending on which side of the vehicle is facing the sun as your driving along.
After shredding the front left tyre on my Disco1 at 110km/h just north of St George today I am going to buy one of these.
Looked at ebay and saw the Tiffany280 with the 4 sensor unit and have sent her a message.
I assume the unit you got was genuine?
How long have you had it and is is still fine?
I bought the Tyre dog external system via E-bay like many, but the sensors only lasted one trip out west to Lake Eyre - granted it 5000km round trip doing the Birdville track / Strezleki Track/ Cameron Corner etc just after the floods that washed out the Birdsville races but the sensors failed one by one - Looking at the wear mark on the rims, I suspect they bashed themselves to death on the corrugations or the water got them. I will probably get some more sensor but will find a way of cushioning the sensor - probably just the bit of foam rubber.
The hardest thing with eBay is making sure the item model number is the same.
The current one on eBay (Taiwan) is a Tyerdog TD 1000A-X is say $A180 including postage.
So is this the correct unit.
One in OZ $150 7days to go with no buy now price?
Hi there,
My system is still working perfectly. I have since changed to a 100 Series 4.2 Intercooled Turbo running 33" KM2 on 17's.
I have used the system for 20000kms on the Cruiser and probably 5000kms on the Disco before it died.
The tyredog system saved me a KM2 on the rear when it was spiked with a sharp rock. It has probably done 1/3 of the kms on hard corrogation and severe offroad (I use the truck as a Pilbara prospecting rig) and they have never let me down.
I think they are an excellent bit of gear.
I have just looked on ebay and found the same one as I have got:
Tyredog Truck & Trailer Tire Monitor Kit (eBay item 170575965531 end time 05-Apr-11 13:14:53 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats
$720 for what I paid $280 for is a bit criminal but it is a good system.
Good luck
Simon
