    In the end they reclassifed the warnings as ambers and said just leave it until the next time you bring it in.

    Invariably the light would go off by itself in the meantime.
    Tyre sensors. Most pointless thing I have ever experienced. I am no genius with cars but I am capable of spotting a flat tyre on my own!

    There was a 'do not drive' red warning that intermittently came on. Mazda dealer could not find the reason.

    A £10 OBD2 plug-in from Amazon found it

    Exhaust pressure sensor. Who knew you needed such a thing..?

    quite good at an early warning though if you have a slow puncture. I had a nail in my tyre after a trip to silverstone. car felt fine and the tyres looked good but the sensors showed the pressure was down. glad I spotted it then and not halfway down the motorway.

    Mine were very good at telling me I had a flat tyre when I didn't. Every 30 seconds or so, with a beep that was clearly designed to be ****ing irritating.

    I was so happy when the garage told me they could just take them off

    A week later I had a flat tyre..... fortunately I spotted it myself.
