Thanks for the tips Reaps... it's actually nice up there, might give it a go.
But, today I thinks I've actually found the problem. I have a clip on reversing mirror screen connected to a second camera on the rear of the car.The normal mirror is useless with the canopy, so with this system I can at least see what's behind me. Anyway, I drove all the way from Adelaide to home (150km) with the screen turned off and had no sensor error messages.
Obviously the screen is emitting radio interference which is affecting the TPMS antenna which is located somewhere in the roof lining. So I either have to ditch the screen, shield it somehow, or find and maybe relocate the antenna.
At least I know what the likely problem is...

Hey Gerry, glad you found it. You do know most wireless camera systems of the kind you have do work on 433mhz ?

The camera system is all hard wired Stewart. Must be just some sort of em radiation from the screen.
