Now I had to change a TPMS valve on a new set of wheels.
LR could not reset the TPMS monitoring because these new valves need a new program
and they don't have the program yet.
After discussing the issue they told me the vehicle was so recent the program is not up to date.
Strange because on my previous set of wheels mounted since inception (august 2010), TPMS
worked perfectly.

By valves, I take it that you mean the TPMS sensors.

Never heard of sensors needing programming. The sensors periodically measure the pressure and temperature of the air inside the tire plus the centripetal acceleration acting on the sensor. These measurements are transmitted periodically via RF signals at either 315 MHz or 433 MHz to the RF receiver located behind the overhead console.

If the sensor is replaced on a 'running' wheel, the new sensor identification will be learnt when the vehicle is first driven at a speed of more than 12.5 mph (20 km/h) for 15 minutes. If a new sensor is fitted to the spare wheel, the identification for that sensor must be programmed into the CJB using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system or that wheel will not be monitored. The code is provided on a label with the complete wheel and tire assembly when new and is also printed on the casing of each sensor.

So what new program are they talking about?  Malaysia Boleh!

You can replace the valve on some without replacing sensors,& some systems need reprograming when a new tyre or sensors is fitted.

Sorry, I was under the impression that quantz was referring to original LR valves with sensor.

Thats taking the sensors out of the equation!

Why would you do that when you don't need ANY reprogramming in the first place?  Malaysia Boleh!
