In my experience with Ford Fiesta and Focus with TPMS not detected fault, it is cheap Chinese sensors. The sensors will report OK to a TPMS code programmer but the car won't like them. Spend a little more and get the Autel MX sensors.

Mr Chops, that microfiber towel at 13.05 could be a very quick way to destroy your ECU. Think about the static build up against some very sensitive semiconductors. You need to keep the ECU in a static shielding bag to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

240 bhp sounds good mate, I hit a corner in a bgt a while ago, big spin, don't use 2k solid on the firebird, it's very hard to get flat and so it looks proper, base coat and a good 2k clear will deffo look best, if it's not too dusty I'd do (and I do) it outside with your gun and compressor, tbh it's a skill you need to learn as opposed to silly rattle cans. For example I got a volvo in this week, it was dull on the bumper and wing, quick mask up and clear it, took an hour and brightened it right up, no need to send it away and spend 100s,all done for a cap full of clear, like 50p worth, if you can paint there's no flatting or polishing.

Don't forget TPMS sensors are designed to fail after so long! I needed to replace all 4 of mine replacing on my Focus when I got back from holiday for a month. The car was sat for over a month and I had exactly the same issue have! I had all 4 of mine changed for £120 a few years back and I've never had a issue! i think the fail once the battery drops below a level or something!

@@andrewbarnes1295 seems to be pot luck. The reason they gave for it not finding my car was it was from 2004, only problem there was it was actually a 2018 car, it wasn’t even an available model until late 2014. Eventually they added my VIN and car details to their database and it still couldn’t find it. If it thinks it’s 14 years older than it is, I’m not sure I’d trust anything it says. They are way cheaper than other brands, but there’s obviously a reason for that, plus they have been promoting and giving them away for a long time now

Changed wheels on wife's 2014 kuga few years back and asked for about sensors and programming. Crazy money asked but did buy genuine sensors amd took them to tyre place for fitting and the guys there said they don't need programmed the car detects them automatically. He was right no issues, no faults, all worked correctly and were going well when we changed that car.

You may need to move the car for it to relearn the TPMS sensors. A lot of sensors have a roll switch and won't start transmitting until the wheels are turning or you have a flat. I don't know what sort Fords use in particular, so that may not apply in this case.
