So, after having conversed with them, it turns out that there is no model number on the sensors. Only a batch number. You've just got to trust that they sent you the right ones. I'll guess we'll find out soon enough.
Annoyingly, the tyre lever I ordered got lost in transit, so I have to order another one.

Are you fitting them yourself Ben.
You got a wheel balancing machine ?

Yeah, I’ve got the full kit. Except a tyre lever.

Checked all tyre pressures today. All were around 39 psi.
Pumped up to 42 psi.
The alarm for all four tyres (tpms) that was showing on the dash has disappeared. All good. Now got the OK message on start up.

I replaced the failed HUF sensor with one of these, but I can't get it to communicate at all. It's pissing me off. Last time I replaced all the OE sensors with HUF ones and I didn't have to do anything to get them to work.
So either these sensors are junk or I need a TPMS tool to "wake them up" so they start communicating with the car. I've ordered one but I don't hold out much hope.
Now I have to decide if I want to replace the other 3 to see if the car needs all 4 new sensors installed. It's a faff pulling the tyres off, but I guess it's just time.
Has anyone had any direct experience getting these sensors to activate?

Hi Ben. I have not had a problem with them. But I had all 4 replaced at the same time.
I think I had to go for a 20 minute drive after fitting them.
It said something like that on the instructions.
