Depicted as a cross-section of a tyre with an explanation mark, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light, illuminates when you have a loss in tyre pressure.
You could experience a loss in tyre pressure because of changes in outside temperature OR when you’ve picked up a puncture.
These lights were introduced in reaction to research which showed that a high percentage of motorist travel with incorrect tyre pressures, adversely affecting their fuel consumption and therefore the environment.
When any warning light comes on, you should always get it checked at your earliest convenience. For further help and assistance with your vehicle, Contact Us!

On diesel vehicles, the Glow Plug (or Pre-Heat Plug) warms the combustion chamber to encourage efficient fuel combustion in a diesel engine. The glow plug light naturally illuminates prior to start up and goes out when it’s ready to start the engine. If the glow plug light is on or flashing after the engine is up to temperature it is likely indicating a fault. With the latest diagnostic equipment and expertise, we can assist with all of your vehicle maintenance and diagnostic requirements.
In fact, 80% of replacement glow plug demand occurs between September and March (Source Denso) – Typically when mornings are colder.
