Another TPMS issue

My UK model (when pressure low) seems different. It gives me a sound warning whenever I start the car, and it stays displayed on the instruments. I can override the warning to check MPG for example, but then a few seconds later the "Low Tyre Pressure" warning comes back. Plus the red triangle and an orange symbol.
Only difference is that Lexus spelled tyre with a y it seems like for you Brits... It's spelled "tire" on US-spec cars...

Haha, the spelling on my warning is tire, not tyre, after all.
Lexus service fitted a new pressure valve today, to replace the temporary standard one. All is well.
No doubt about it, my UK car with only 3 TPMS fitted gave a 'Low Tire' warning. I vaguely remember reading the European versions have different TPMS valves, so the US ones don't work on UK cars.
I don't know if this is true.
