Picked up a set of 17 inch alloys (juke) just had them refurbished new all weather tires... When I fit them I will post pics... I was looking for tpms for them on eBay the best I could do was from Germany for £108 with pnp which were plug and play.. So I ring Renault Cardiff to get a price and the guy gave me a deal on 4 for £94 ...who said dealers were expensive... lol  

That seems like a very good price if they come programmed to your car, I wonder if dealers are actually taking it on board that they can out price themselves charging silly prices.

No need to program it. If they were sold as original spare part(s), just mount them into rims... at the start on R-link go ino menu to  re-set presurre and strat drive... after a 2 miles or something new TPMS will be registered and functional.

From my own expirience...

What?!?!?! They cost about 40-50 euro for an entire set of 4 in my country. At the dealer.... (with the appropriate discount)

Just shows what the UK dealers are like, screw the customer!
I must admit I would have probably stupidly paid to get a set for £98 although the tyre fitters I use did show me a company on Ebay that supplies for £48 for a set, ready to fit. It was a while ago and I can't remember which Ebay business it was.

It is not dealer fault, more likely producer policy... From the latest research, viechles for Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkey market has more strict timing for general inspections and timing belts replacement... For i.e. Clio, normal period for general inspection and oil change is 30000km/2 years, in that countries is 20000km/1 year, timing belt replacement is normal on 150000km/6 years, in Romania and Bulgaria 90000km/4 years and in Turkey even 80000km/3 years.
So pricing policy is same... They can not afford due to their incomes prices that are normal i.e for you based on your incomes...
