OK so panic is over for now. I have reset them in the past and they have come up reasonably quickly. I did 2 separate drives and they did not initialise. Yesterday, I drove 5 mins up the road (normal 30mph roads) and just as I parked up they came to life They worked fine on the return journey too so even though they showed 0 months and no voltage, this seems to be due to them not being initialised. I will look for a replacement anyway as they won't last forever and I can put one in the spare to test as that one has never worked.

The sensors I bought were Autel MX sensors and did require programming, which is what the pad is required for. You run the software on your PC, select the appropriate car, and when requested to do so, put the sensor on the pad (repeat for each sensor). It seems to work like induction charging on mobiles. I found out the hard way as I only bought the sensors (there was nothing in the ads about programming and nothing about what the pad was for). Had they fitted to freshly refurbed wheels, went through the initialising and setting processes numerous times and they wouldn't work. Checked the official Autel site out and found out why.

Subsequently I Found these folks ‘TPMS Warehouse’ on the internet with excellent results. For the 2006 S8 d3 the OEM (Huf/Beru) part number is RDE001 and the sensors are supplied pre calibrated and tested - excellent vendor: £172,80 for both fronts. Fitted you need to initialise and go for a drive and I did a 20mm motorway drive and initialised perfectly - tyre pressures and temperatures perfect now https://tpmswarehouse.co.uk/

I never did source a replacement, maybe because they are still working 12+ months on. I will have a look at ^^those for the future
