I've just bought some new winter tyres for my Zafira Tourer. The garage where I bought the car in May said that the 2014 doesn't have TPMS.
On the way home from the specialist tyre fitters, the tyre pressure warning light came on - so I guess I was misinformed!
I'm not sure whether they fitted the sensors inside or not, the guy did say 'ah you've got one of those' when he looked at the valve on the summer tyres' - is there any way of telling whether they have fitted sensors or not ?
I read that cars need to adjust to the new sensors, but I can't find out whether the Zafira does this automatically or whether I need to take it to the dealer.
If it doesn't have sensors fitted - is it possible to fit them into the new tyres ?
Otherwise I don't know whether it's legal to drive without them when I have TPMS, I could just ignore the warning light for the winter, or maybe get it disabled ?
Does anyone have experience of TPMS ?
