I would expect the new Defender to me more Agricultural and have less electronic gizmos to go wrong

Simple Solution
Ok chaps, I think I've found a really simple solution to this....
Background:
When the car was new, it was reporting low pressure in the spare. So I did the following and the problem went away.
Yesterday, I had the tyres swapped over to AT3s and the problem came back. After the tyre swapping, a previous road wheel ended up as the spare, so this discounts the theory that rotating the wheels will solve it.
So, I've just been out and done the following and the problem is immediately gone again.
The solution:
Drop the spare and inflate it to 50psi (the working pressure for a rear tyre when fully loaded).
Before winching it back up, rotate it so that the valve is at 9 O'clock as you're looking at the back of the car i.e. the valve is on the left side of the vehicle. This will ensure that the valve is directly beneath the TPMS sensor when the wheel is in position.
Try it. It's worked for me, twice.

The only trouble with that Jon is that I have a disability that if I did drop the spare and turn it, by the time I'd done that, I would be in pain for a week at least.
So I would have to get someone to do it for me and as my local LR garage don't want to know, I would have to pay some local chap to do something that might or might not work.
It would certainly be worth a try if I could get anybody to do and not charge the earth.
I already have aches and pains all over from just assembling a computer chair

The last guy that helped me when I dropped it to check the tyre pressure didn't ask for anything but because of his doleful look I gave him £20 and the regulatory two cups of coffee.
If I took it to my local, non LR, garage I would expect to pay the minimum hours charge.
The reason I stuck with LR was because of their reliability in the past and that is also why I change them whenever the warranty expires because I cannot do a lot these days.
If I was required to change a wheel, I would be all aches and pains for at least a week even with the strong pain killers that I have at my disposal.
Anyway, enough of this, it is beginning to look as if I am talking to the Samaritans, you can take cough mixture for coughs and aspirin for headaches but you can't take anything to getting older

It sure is Dave, right on the edge of Salisbury Plain between the rifle ranges and the Artillery ranges with all sorts of other stuff that goes on in between - normally at night too -

Rotating the tyre to the 9 o’clock position didn’t fix it for me on its own but then pumping the spare up to about 48psi did. No more warning message at start-up anymore👍🏻
