tyre valves

[collyflowercheese]

i think ive got two tyre valves leaking, been told by tyre fitters that ive got to buy valves myself from peugeot (he thinks there about £25), he can fit them and then ive got to go to dealers to get them programmed another £60, is this right. can i get dealers to disconnect tyre sensors all together so i dont need expensive valves.

dont bother with them mate... just get them switched off..

Dealers charge £60 but you can get them switched off by contacting one of the members here who own Planet..

It depends on the mileage of your car etc.. if it gives you trouble etc then yeah go for it.. its a good investment..

my car has 100k miles on a 54 plate, bought it 3 months ago full service history, i just think if its £60 a time with the dealers how much and how easy is it to buy the peugeot planetsystem that i need, ive got a good mechanic but he admits he doesnt have a clue about new cars coz everything is computers (hes a wagon mechanic.)

There's a cheaper option than re-programming or buying a planet box, adopted by my car's previous owner. Just put in ordinary valves for twopence and watch the system give one warning that - 'It can't find tyre pressures' about a minute after startup.

I'm only guessing now, but owning a planet box probably doesn't make you an auto electrician any more than owning your own scalpel makes you a surgeon.

This is very true but it`s less dangerous to operate on your car than it is to operate on yourself.

my warning lights seem to come on and never go off, its very annoying watching a warning light flash on and off all the time. just thought if peugeot planet wasnt that much it might be worth investing in 1.

If you`re going to keep your car then pp is a good idea.

You can get one for around £110 and an XP laptop to run... Software can be downloaded..
