Hi Mikal,
There may be someone close to you that may be able to help, best bet is to look on the map from the topic link below and send them a private message.

It may help if you change your location from England ......to maybe the town you live in or at least the county.

It doesn't look as though I'm very close either (it would be better to change your location as Sticky suggests) but if you do find someone it should be easy to do if the facelift is similar to the earlier model. I turned the pressure monitors very early on my ownership.

I thought tyre pressure monitors were now an MOT requirement if originally fitted.....???

I think that in practice the important thing is "if fitted" rather than "if originally fitted". AFAIK there's no central database of cars fitted with TPMS senders if they were an optional fitment and the testers just look out for a warning lamp or message. You can't even rely on the valve being a TPMS type if it's a metal type held in with a nut as this could simply be a competition type valve (I had these 35 years ago).

This may change as TPMS valves become mandatory for all passenger vehicles as I think they are already for HGVs.

I'm sure one our MOT testers will be able to clarify.
