Driving earlier today and the TPMS said check the right passenger side tyre. I was a few hundred yards from home as it happens so parked up at home. Yep tyre pretty flat. So it went down quickly. It's the bog standard TPMS so no monitoring/display of actual pressures.
Checked the local two Kwik-Fit places for waiting times and got it sorted (repaired) within the hour. But had I not had TPMS I would not have known there was a screw in that tyre. It drove as normal being front wheel drive.
So a thank you to the EU for trying to make TPMS standard on all cars.
My mileage has been low with this car... looks like it will be around 24k miles when it goes back or thereabouts after 3 years. Still has all the original tyres and the front have plenty of life in them. If this was a diesel they'd have been swapped a lot earlier I think.
