I use these and they seem OK. I still check them at a garage but at least you can pick up a leak early on. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pressure-G...item41898cddc8 Just need to pick the pressure that you want for whatever car requirements.

I have a TPMS from Sean. With extern sensors screwed in place of the dustcaps. The sensors cannot removed without a special tool. Changing summer for winterwheels, just unscrew the sensors en place them on the others. The receiver lies just behind my Navall 1 unit. Every time by starting the car I get a few seconds a screen wich showed every tyre with pressure and degrees. You get a warning with sound and screen when a tyre pressure is to low and it shows which tyre. You can set the warning tyre pressure on what your like. There's also a button you can press to see on your way how the tyres are doing. It is the Steelmate TP05E. I am very happy with it.

Read 5 tyres? Don't think so. You get a screen with four pressures and temps. Do not think that there is room for 5. But in honest, never tryed.

The Renault system can be disabled by a Renault dealer for a fee as they are a problematical it would appear, All our still work but it is annoying as you can't rotate the wheels for even wear or in our case remove a slightly buckled front to the rear without having the valves removed and swapped over as they are coded to position and like most things that still work, I tend to leave well alone..
So a nice ladies voice pipes up 'Rear right tyre, check the pressue' , while a display highlights it like this If you have one with nav you get this too Still miffed that she doesn't sound French though, Michelle from Allo Allo would have been so much more fun.

WARNING!!!!!
Guys be careful buying the gauge caps that you add onto the end of the valve. It adds extra weight to the end of the valve and when the wheel spins it bends the valve with centrifugal force. After a while the valves rubber at the wheel can give way, and give way VERY quickly. You can have an instant blowout. The only way around this is to add support under the valve like what is on my Valkyrie motorbike. See attached picture. Sorry it's not good pic just got it from the web. I remember during my car alarm install days Meta brought out a pressure warning system. You had to remove the tyre, then put a huge jubilee clip around the inside of the rim with the sensor attached to it. Then you put the tyre back on.
