Putin is a loser

[Fergie 307]

Seriously though I am with you.
My missus mini has so much stuff, even variable mood lighting FFS, and keeps telling her the tyre pressures are wrong, when the gauge says otherwise.
Going to have to replace a sensor I guess, she thinks I am trying to do her in making her drive about with dodgy tyres, as if

Are you blaming Putin for your missus's tyre pressures ?

Certainly putin too much air

........Same with our car - it bristles with switches and have to keep looking at the 500 page manual as they are interactive and have a mind of their own. The "air conditioning" is really complicated. In my old Bedford CA van it was on/off, and pull a lever for screen/cabin/both. Dead simple and perfectly adequate.

It's called being an old git Jacob. Being one myself I can say that with confidence though I like all the gadgets in our cars.

I wouldn't worry about it and certainly not bother with new sensors. My wife is on her 5th Mini the current one being extremely well equipped and regularly gets the same warning as she also did on her previous 2. Our neighbour has a 2019 Mini with the same issue and she came round in a panic a few weeks ago when it first happened. Our little Citigo does it occasionally as does both Fiesta's my daughter has owned recently.
My car on the other hand has only done it once when I had a slow puncture but that's just luck I guess. I think many of the sensors on modern cars are far too sensitive, an opinion shared by our local garage owner.

For the record as the originator I do not mind thread drift on this thread (or Putinist trolls) - anything which promotes "Putin is a loser" works for me!

Just be thankful you don't have to drive a Lada.

Had one years ago. Estate model. It looked a very neat practical design (ex Fiat) but just not reliable or nice to drive. Somebody stole the best bit which was the battery, with an image on it of happy looking soviet peasants and tractors.

This is a silly thread full of quotes from elsewhere, but it is interesting to see the styles of argument. The word propaganda is used often, especially by Robin, and is used to describe the portrayal of the Russian side of the argument. On the other side we have "facts" apparently, which can be regarded as truth.

Meanwhile, over on the Russian Workshop Forum, Russian Robbo is tearing into rabid right wingers accusing them of spreading propaganda, whilst refuting their nonsense with proper Russian facts.

Meanwhile the wind continues to howl and the floodwaters rise and tractor drivers show off.

Oh I would happily leave it, but of course every time you start the damn thing it keeps saying the pressures are wrong.
The laugh is that this really gets her going, but she has never actually checked the tyre pressures of any car she has ever owned !

I did have a Niva for a while, and have to say it was actually pretty impressive
