Managed to get them off matey, bought a repair kit for the valves, should be here tomorrow hopefully. The kit was £15 and I managed to get the sensors off in one go, so fingers crossed it works!

The disadvantage of the FTM system is won't trigger dash light if all tires equally lost pressure so you'll need to check it once in a while. Switched over, sold my TPMS sensors and works fine for me.
I seen this while searching this, if the repair kit doesnt work, I may look at this option.

Appreciated guys, I may be back on to pester you both on this if Plan B is unsuccessful. Plan A was to get them off in a one go and have them swapped over LOL
