Tyre pressure monitors on Sale at Repco

[ST.George]

At Repco NSW (and I'm told, other states as well) these tyre pressure monitors r on sale 4 $20 (was $69).



They r battery powered and once installed they show a red light when pressure is low, (I think it's 2 or 3 psi below the initial setting). Pressure can only b set once. This is done by very carefully setting the pressure for each tyre. When the monitor is screwed on 4 the 1st time the pressure is set at that amount. If pressure decreases below the set amount a red light shines.
Since the light only shines when pressure is low, the battery should last a long time.
What I don't know is what happens when the battery is low - does it indicate somehow. Don't know yet as I'm picking mine up 2moro and will check the web after that. In practical terms u should notice a flattening tyre and if the monitor is not red u know it's time 4 a replacement.
The good thing is u get 4 so they should last quite a while.

Yep, good find.

Gunna get expensive ....... ST, XT, CT, Mazda, Toyota, Falcon ............. Oh dear!

$100 is better than $350 though.

Thanks for the heads up ST.George, I'll have to check it out

Can't see myself rolling down the road leaning out to catch a glimpse of a glowing tyre valve to monitor the pressure.
Still, good for a quick check during refuelling, coffee breaks, etc.

Well, Bill, personally, on a dark, dark night,  under the omniverse of limitless astral configurations, if I leant out a bit and saw a glowing red, orbiting satellite of impending danger warning, warning, warning - I would get kinda "xcited" 2 get 2 the next servo 2 rectify the problemo while being the capitano of starship "Red Flag" xplorer of the cyclic universe... Just sayin'...

Just sayin' I'm not sure how visible yonder bright star might be, even at Yuletide, Starships being wide as they are.

I am sure a system mirrors would overcome that problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a pair of this brand of mechanical tyre pressure monitors that I am happy to give away to the first one to claim them.   Mine are designed to monitor 42psi.  A 10% pressure reduction shows an orange band, and 15-20% redction in pressure shows a red band.

Both my Volkswagens the Eos and the Golf Alltrack use the Traction control system to monitor the tye pressures.

It checks the rotation speed of each wheel in a straight line and then calculates if one has gone flat. After a true change or after pumping up the tyres it has to be reset.

These have been claimed and are on their way to Shiney.
