Been out and reset the TPMS and that cleared the warning. Still going to buy a tyre inflator though as my trust in the forecourt ones go down every time I use one.

You should always perform a reset whenever you makes changes to the tyre pressures. RTFM 

Your remark is invalid as I already said I had read manual but it was a lot to take in when I got the car and later assumed for some reason that the tyre senors sense the manufacturer recommended pressures.
So read the !!!!!! thread first.

That doesn't include normal tyre pressure maintenance, no need to reset for that.

Well you know what they say about assumptions.

Also, chill out, the RTFM remark was clearly said in jest hence the smiley.

Every change to the tyre pressure requires a reset.

I invested in a battery operated tyre inflator. It is much easier to use. Oasser Tyre Inflator £47.99 at Amazon

You tell me. Just about every car user manual I've read for cars that have both types of TPMS have always said to reinitialise/reset the TPMS monitor whenever you pump up the tyres.

Thats what i was getting at, ive had both mk3 and 3.5. I have the manual in front of me for a mk3.5, you are only to reset the TPMS if the warning light is on and doesnt switch off after inflation. I dont have a mk3 manual to hand but im fairly certain thats the same having read it.

No it doesn't please don't post incorrect advice, tyres lose pressure all the time, so on that basis every time you drive the car!
