Wished to quickly update this thread , TPMS all up and running
Looks like I also need to recheck the pressures vis what it says in the book, think it’s 33 front 36psi rear
Also used some tyre bead sealer on the front right tyre as I’ve had a very slow leak , so will be interesting to see if it works , until I get it fixed

The only way these caps can work is to keep the tyre valves open, which to me doesn't sound like a good idea.

Hi
Apologises as I didn’t word it correctly , have a very slow leak on the front right tyre , found a small area on the rim allowing air to escape , so added some bead sealer as a temporary measure
The monitors just screw onto the end of the tyre valves so not open , they do an optional T piece that can be fitted which allows u to fit a monitor on one end and also being able to top up the tyres without removing the monitor
Hope that helps

I have been using caps like these for a long time now and like the result (spotted a slow puncture early!)
No issues with loss of pressure when fitted.
The system I have is a solar powered display on the dash like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solar-Wireless-...4105066881D1 3Door (White) Long gone
D1 3 Door (Red) Long gone
D2 5 Door (Charleston Green) Long gone

They do still seal well. I use a 6 monitor system when I go away, 4 on the D4 and 2 on the camper trailer. No issues with leaks from the monitors at all, and I’m traveling at speed on unsealed roads.
The only downside I’ve found is that the monitors hit against the wheel causing damage to the lacquer.MY14 TDV6
