Is the car still on variable servicing after doing the reset? You can check in the infotainment system. Thanks, AG Falco

Batteries are in short supply at the minute, and prices have been rising a little. One type of AGM has been out of stock for over two months with a supplier we use. Thanks, AG Falco

31 in view and using 19 now in my back garden on my mobile phone. My mobile also uses 4 different satellite systems:- A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO & BDS. Using a navigation app on the mobile while in a plane is fun. 600 MPH and 10,000 Ft altitude. A car with a SOS button in it will have a satellite chip inside. If you live/work in North Dorset you cannot rely on mobile signal. When you have customers in the middle if a forest/field then what3words becomes useful. Thanks, AG Falco

Is your radio on DAB or FM? Thanks, AG Falco

Has the car got a SOS button? Thanks, AG Falco

The TPMS system uses the ABS sensors to sense for a tyre pressure problem. The ESP also takes info from them as well as from other things like the Yaw sensor and Steering angle sensor. Thanks, AG Falco

The Steering angle sensor is just in front of the steering wheel inside the cabin. If the alignment is adjusted by a large amount then this steering angle sensor might need recalibration using a diagnostic tool. Thanks, AG Falco

A rear disk and pad on my Fabia III at 5 years old and 54,000 miles. These are the original parts. Photo below. They have lasted because every autumn they are:- The disk faces are cleaned but not greased. Thanks, AG Falco

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004P3VQEC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Had this set for 5 years and is still OK and only £9.00. Thanks, AG Falco

What type of noise? When was the last time they were removed, cleaned, regreased and refitted? Thanks, AG Falco

Stomil-Olsztyn company from Poland, Michelin became involved in 1995. Thanks, AG Falco

From the present highway Code:- Tyre pressures. Check weekly Thanks, AG Falco

Kormoran Tyres are owned/made by Michelin. Thanks, AG Falco

No motorways in North Dorset. Toe out which will wear the inside edges faster. The original tyres were Nexen. I now have two Continentals as well. Thanks, AG Falco

It looks like the inside edges are more worn than the rest of the tread on the front tyres. Not unusual and you can find that the rear tyres wear the outside edge more. What I do is fit new tyres to the rear and swap the old rear tyres diagonally to the front. I also run mine at 2.4 bar, especially if you have a heavy diesel engine. Fronts will last about 27K miles for me but with no adverse edge wear at the end. Thanks, AG Falco

What tyre pressure do you run? Thanks, AG Falco

Will a battery disconnect and reconnect be worth a try with the new settings in the infotainment system? Thanks, AG Falco

Renault Laguna. The four TPMS valves had a coloured rubber band around the stem. You could not move the valves from their designated rubber band coloured position on the car. The spare when fitted would show a warning light. The stems would break. The batteries went flat. You couldn't just change the valve stem with the rubber seal, so they would leak from where they fit to wheel. Peugeot 407. If you had the pear shaped key fob you couldn't move the valves from the original position on the car, if you knew where that was after you fitted four new tyres at the same time. The spare when fitted would show a warning. The stems would break. The batteries went flat. You couldn't just change the valve stem with the rubber seal, so they would leak from where they fit to wheel. The later 407's with the rectangular key fob you could at least move the valves around. The sensors were set to warn you at 2.0 bar but the normal pressures were 2.6 bar. So you could drive with the tyres underinflated by 0.5 bar with no warning. When these TPMS valves were £100.00 a piece fitted/programmed when it stopped working people would replace them all with normal valves and turn the TPMS off. If you don't have a spare wheel/tyre and you drive on a flat tyre you can break the TPMS valve inside the wheel/tyre. I would rather have the indirect ABS system and check my tyres and pressures. Thanks, AG Falco

Can you change what is displayed in the MFD using the infotainment system? Only tick the speed one if you have the Bolero system. Thanks, AG Falco

All sensors need a good voltage to work. When you get several warnings for unconnected problems charge and check the battery voltage first. A low / old battery can have a low voltage but still work ok. This low voltage could be the reason for your warnings. Thanks, AG Falco

You can buy dem at 'de Fib' shop? Thanks, AG Falco

Check / charge the Battery first. Is it the original car battery? Thanks, AG Falco

Check all the big electrical wire connections from the battery to the starter motor, including the earth. Even try jump leads, but connect to the battery last not first. Thanks, AG Falco
