Puncture

[Logsplitter]

The only thing I wonder is whether the holes in the steel rims are large enough to permit the hooks…?

I’ll check later

No idea if you have the fancy factory ones. I have cheap external ones on my Disco ; they work fine and are easily replaced.
The Grenadier , isn't the pressure monitored by comparing wheel speeds? Dunno.

Why would the wheel speed change? The circumference is not changing with pressure.

Thanks, not sure about yours but my old set had double hooks like so:

We've had the fale warning with our Volvo EV. On the help forum
"Volvo uses "indirect" TPMS - where the ABS system measures the rotational speeds of each tire, thereby guessing which are "low" by comparing them to stored values (and to each other). Unfortunately for some reason - Volvo, Audi, and a couple other manufacturers have long refused to use actual "direct" air-pressure sensors on each tire (like most manufacturers do)."
Even one worn tyre (poor alignment etc) can trigger it.

Yes they fit. I’ll try jacking up later as off for a spin

Champion, thank you @Logsplitter - question answered!

But how do you then take the wheel off?

Good question. I assume you need axle stands or something

 

[Logsplitter]

But how do you then take the wheel off?

Chock or stand under axle but mainly using hi-lift to lift wheel out of bog to get traction aids under wheel. I would only use hi-lift to change wheel if in bog and wheel off the rim or puncture. If on hard ground would use bottle Jack.

but not the Ineos one...mutter, mutter...

Perhaps you’re not joking. This is a recovery tool only. For wheel removal get onto flat ground and use a bottle jack, with a base plate if necessary. As noted could hoist it with the high lift onto an axle stand or a second spare wheel but the bottle jack is usually easier.

There's lots of choice for jacking points on a vehicle of this construction, but anyone know what the Ineos designated points are?

Between the two shock absorber mounting brackets on the axle.

Here is a good video from Robert Pepper on bottle Jacks VS Hi Lifts.

Bottle jack in compartment left rear cargo area, a basic toolkit.

where are the jacking points please? is there enough travel on the bottle jack to get it off the ground enough
