Just about due to replace pair of front Michelin Primacy's. I am told that there are pressure sensors incorporated with the valve. What are peoples experiences with tyre fitters and these sensors, called in a kwik fit earlier and they said they left the valve and just replaced the core.

Yep that's right. So long as the fitter is sensible they'll be no problems.

If you change the sensor it'll need 'tying' to the BSI.

I've had two sets of tyres on my C5. Pressure sensors are no problem. Fitter just puts in a new valve core.

I've had one set of tyres fitted by a local firm with no problems.

The last set I had fitted at a fast-fit type place. When I went to collect the car I was told that one of my valves was faulty and it was a main dealer part only - they replaced the valve with a standard one.

Our local Citroen dealer is very competitive on tyres, so next time they need replacing I will probably go there and get the tyre pressure sensor changed at the same time.

In the meantime, I just kick the offending tyre every now and then to make sure it hasn't gone soft.
