TPMS random faults
I am looking for a Saint to help me in this, I am located in Toronto. If somebody is reading this, I am willing to meet and pay for the disturb. I currently dont have a GAP Tool.
In case I will disable it, using the Gap Tool, if I change the battery, does the car keep the new configuration or I must write it again?

Unless you buy your additional VIN for someone else's tool (around $100us), or find someone who already spent $$$ on the Pro version.
A local Indie may be your best bet to disable this.
Or just buy your own GAP tool :-)
GAP tools are VIN locked, so I don't think this option will come easy for you.

So if I buy a new LR3 I have to buy the gap tool twice?!
I dont buy it

If you have tried two different TPMS modules, the issue is either the sensors in the wheels or a wiring issue.
You said the sensors were VDO, If this is a 2007, it uses 315 MHz sensors. Can you confirm that the sensors are 315 MHz and not 433MHz? It makes a difference because some of the newer European cars have 433 MHz and a generic parts dealer will see 433 MHz as "compatible with Land Rover" even if they are VDO brand.

Basically I need to replace the sensors (weird Autel tells me the batteries are OK)
Sensors are 315mhz and I doubt that 3 antennas are faulty. I will try with new sensors when winter will go away.
P.S.the first time I had the fault, Autel showed me both rear tires no communication.
So I swapped wheels, rears with fronts, as result I had again rear wheels and front left! To me it looks like that probably the sensors dont have enough power in order to communicate or yes a wiring issues.

I bought the car 2 months ago, car is quite "new" 170.000 km, the only problem is this tpms issue and apparently being the sensors original VDO and car is 16 years...yeah I should invest some money to place new sensors and see what happens. I have all the file with tens papers about all the works done, I see many water leaks fixed, some light bulbs replaced (seriously people go to stealership to change a bulb!!!???), lower control arms...and no records about tpms sensors replaced.
