Rambo Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Happy new year blowout. Fortunately only at about 45 mph but still a bugger to correct. Luckily my driving skills kicked in. 2023 can only get better PS no warning from the TPMS. Still showing 37 psi when I stopped 🤔 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TdM Posted January 1 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 1 I think TPMS doesn't report on every rotation so it's possible if it's an instant blowout you won't get warning or any sign. If it had lost pressure over a few hundred metres it would have triggered. Not perfect but a warning after the fact isn't useful anyway.

Rambo Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Despite last MOT in July 2019, it says MOT expired 03 Jan 2021. Seems a bit odd? I bet it needs a new clutch 🤣 And battery, discs, pads, re-commisioning. Could be a bargain at <£20k though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
