Evening all!

Well, just driving back from the girlfriends, and the runflat light appeared, but not in the orange/yellow colour, but in bright red.

But I dont have runflats, I ditched them along time ago and now just have standard tyres, I pulled over of course and just checked all the tyres, everything seemed fine, so I have reset the runflat light, and nothing has come back (yet).

Could this be an actual puncture (becauce I was told that on 04 and pre build minis the sensor would not work for standard tyres?

And I always thought the light shines yellow rather than red (thats what it was when had a low tyre with my old runflats)

Any advice would be great, Ta;

A red light indicates a malfunction of the TPMS rather than low pressure in a tire.

The TPMS works with either run flat or conventional tires.

Ok so it was basically telling me pressure was low in the tyres.
