Check Tyre Pressure Warning

[hmstoller]

I have a 2006 LR3, and I have had multiple problems with tires loosing air (going completely flat 2 times), and the Check Tyre Pressure warning light going on many times. The dealer told me that climate changes can cause this, but give me a break. It last went on when the temp was 35 degrees. Has anyone experienced this problem before? The dealer has told me that there are no widespread issues, but I am not sure that I believe them. Today, it is back at the dealer to be looked at again. They have replaced a rim, a tire, and valve stems, but it still keeps happening. The car is only 8 months old. Could I have a lemon? I was told that Land Rover owners can have a love/hate relationship with their vehicles. Now I understand why.

Possibly a faulty sensor. $66.00 part worth a try

the dealer replaced the valve stem and resealed the rim. This is the second time they have tried this. We'll see what happens...

Well, you may have a tire/wheel or sensor issue...but I hardly think that makes is a lemon!!!

Good luck. I have not seen any of those errors or experienced loss of tire pressure.

I've had problems with my rear right losing air several times. Took it to LR. They said it was fixed, but when I came to pick it up (after hours) the right rear was very low. They obviously hadn't fixed it. Took it to a national tire shop. They said it was a loose sensor causing the problem and tightened it. No problems for quite a while. Then at the beach a couple weeks ago it went low again. Pumped it up and hasn't lost air since. Hard to know what the problem is.

I'd keep taking it back until LR gets it right.
