Hi all

Hopefully a tip for others who will have this problem

The online place (Fish brothers) ship the TPMS without a metal sleeve (this sleeve sits between your alloy rim and the sensor itself). My sleeve was corroded and cracked and the local mechanic had to make a plan

Can anybody source a part number for this sleeve?  Much appreciated! 

Inserting generic pics - 1st one has a sleeve and the 2nd doesnt

Surprised that's not included are you sure it's just not missing?

If that's the part that's failed then you would not need a new sensor just a replacement body?

I have had exactly the same issue on a non Lexus vehicle, as far as I can see the repair kits are generic to most vehicles, after all a tyre valve is not manufacturer specific, but this looks like the part you need.

Lexuspartsdirect do TPMS refurb kits which include seals and sleeve and are about £8 each if memory serves me correctly.
