Postby irishmonkey » Fri Dec 25, 2009 7:25 pm

Hi lads.
I was planning on changing my alloy wheels on my mini to OZ ULTRALEGGERA 16 " ones.
but i was wondering about tire pressure sensor. i assume thats somewhere in my current wheels. can i just get any garage to swap them over or whats the story?

You will have no problem with a wheel change , most you will have to do is reset the warning lights if it pops on ,

Theres no pressure sensor, it's just a wheel speed sensor which takes it's reading from the abs system. It just measures how fast each wheel is turning, and if one is turning faster, that means a loss of pressure.
