I would have thought you only need to replace the sensor that’s faulty? Do you need a set of 4 ? I’d be very surprised if you can a set of 4 for £150 . Any good tyre shop should be able to help you .

The battery life in TPMS sensors is often said to be 5 years - but in practice is mileage dependent as the sensors shut down if the wheel isn't moving and can last much longer.

I paid £120 for a set of 4 for my winter tyres on my VW, so £150 is the right ballpark.

A quick word of feedback on the outcome here. I deliberated for a couple of months, but had to take action with MoT date coming up. First call was a local Kwikfit, who advised me to go to the dealer with a Toyota (and that chimed with some other internet posts I had read). Second call was a local Toyota dealer - £700. Third call was another local Toyota dealer - £600, which is what I went with. Roughly £75 per sensor, £4 per fitting kit, £180 labour (not much over an hour), plus VAT.

Courteously and efficiently dealt with, but a lot of money for no purpose other than putting the light out on the dashboard legitimately. Let's hope the new ones last another 11 years!

Bought 4 steel wheels with winter tyres fitted from My Tyres for our 2015 Note. Needed TPMS sensors which they fitted and programmed all for about £20 a wheel. Just checked and its less than that now.

Simply fitted wheels and drove, came calibrated ready to use. Come summer refitted the factory wheels, drove away and no issues.

Seems that the garages are having a laugh.

As an abstract but related question, can a TPMS system be disabled and the sensors replaced with conventional valves ? The owner would need to check pressures occasionally, but many of us are used to doing that ?
