The TPMS can be switched off in software. Many of the Elise / Exige variants with forged wheels don't have the sensors fitted.

Yes, the generic replacements were from EP and didn't work. Maybe just unlucky? Note they also had the manufacturer logo and part number scratch off so impossible to confirm if it was the correct part.

Pumping the brake pedal a few times quickly cleared the issue for me. If buying a replacement switch I'd recommend getting a genuine one (about £60). There are a few people selling generic replacements for ~£30, I know at least two that didn't work properly. What fault code reader did you use? Mine didn't show anything even when the TC & Spanner lights were lit.

I had the same issue during a trip to France with LOT last month. First time it lost all power after driving across a tram track. Turning off/on didn't fix it but after pumping the brakes the throttle came back. It did it again twice on track the next day, seemed to occur after touching a curb on a trailing throttle. After clearing the 2nd occurrence the TC light came on and the rest of the day was uneventful although without TC. Same then occurred everyday on track and on road. As a temporary fix I adjusted the brake pedal switch by moving one click in so the lights came on earlier, it left the TC light permanently on but no more power cuts. New switch installed and setup by CMC today and issue seems to be fixed. For info car is 4 years old and 8k miles.

Mark & Hannah coming!

The Elise felt very old sat next to the 400 but great that a 10 year old car can still provoke such a reaction!

Hi Colin, Great colour car you have there! Mine only looked nice because Mark the valeter at CMC had just given it a seeing too! Apologies for the appalling South Gyle traffic, quite glad I work from home! Cheers, Mark
