Title: Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Post by: UIZ733 on November 11, 2015, 07:45:52 AM
I need one for the Vista. The purpose is more to indicate a quick deflation (blowout) rater than accurate monitoring of pressure. I realise both criteria are linked. The suspension system in the Vista could be rather expensive to repair if damaged by running on a rim unnecessarily. A contact has the Tyredog System and it appears to work OK.
Any recommendations or experiences relating to Ebay or similar units would be appreciated.

Thanks Duggie. I had read all previous threads. I was hoping there may be something 'new' on the market that may be worth looking at. Apologies if I wasted your time.

Will be interested to see what responses you get on "new" tech TPMSs.

I used Tyredogs briefly in 2008, they managed to destroy themselves by flexing the valve stem to the extent that they bashed themselves to pieces on the rim.  A mate with short metal valve stems on his alloys had no such problem, still using his, but I gather the signal from his van is sometimes lost.

I have the Doran RV360 which I sourced from these guys - http://www.lsmtechnologies.com.au/item.cfm?site_id=17&category_id=2949 (http://www.lsmtechnologies.com.au/item.cfm?site_id=17&category_id=2949)

Had it for almost 18 months, in that time its seen plenty of offroad action, corrugations and water crossings and I haven't had an issue. Very happy with the unit and its performance.
