Hi, I have a 2016 Ford Focus. 

I have seen several references that say the tpms system will not work if a tyre is changed. 

If I get a puncture and decide to get my tyre (just the rubber bit, not the metal wheel) changed for a part worn tyre, will this cause tpms issues?

    Places fitting part worns are likely to not be overly careful and end up damaging the sensor.  A tyre change in itself isn't an issue though.
