@kev an that's crap, sorry. 😞

Ref the car picking up the wrong tyre - the pressure sensors aren't actually physically connected to the car, they're wireless transmitters inside the wheel so I assume the car uses signal strength to each transmitter to best-guess which corner they're at. As long as the receiver isn't in the exact middle of the car, it should work. So if it's getting them wrong, I guess the transmitter is damaged too. They don't last forever even without hitting potholes.

@dev_ric ah, I didn't know that. I had both front tyres replaced a couple months ago, so they must have put them back on the wrong way round. Thanks.

@kev that's the thing - it shouldn't matter which way around they go, the car just detects them and presumably used signal strength to determine where they're at. Like, if you imagine the receiver is where the driver sits (no idea if it is), then the strongest signal would be the drivers front and the weakest would be the rear passenger side. To get them wrong, the signal must've been unstable, so presumably a broken transmitter.
