Do they need nuts? Normally the sensor caps just screw on. You want to be able to remove them to pump the tyres up, so it needs to be easy.

Got a pic?

Not you @Nodge68 .

From what I can see the outer sleeve is the "nut" that clamps it in place on the rim.

As can be seen in the picture below, these are the same as the Peugeot ones, the hex on the valve stem is the nut for securing them to the rim. remove valve cam, unscrew hex headed sleeve, insert sensor and stem from inside of rim out to outside, fit outer sleeve, fit tyre, inflate tyre. At some point in this process you need to do witch craft with the computer to excite/activate the sensor and then pair it with the car's ECU.

To me, they dont seem bothering with. I think I'll just carry on giving my tyres the occasional kick.

Send them back, or ask for the rest of them?

Those look quite 'hefty'. Will the change the wheel's balance much?

I'd love to retrofit the TPMS, but I don't know if mine is late enough to have all the wiring in place for the sensors, but I guess I could check.

I was thinking the OP was asking about the aftermarket kit sensors, which replace the valve caps.

Where are you getting them from? Are they being sold as retrofit parts or spares to replace faulty old units, so the old sleeve nut is reused?

Powerful UK do them as a kit with seals and stems.
https://www.powerfuluk.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=+Tpms+sensors

Or a set of 4 genuine sensors are available on ebay for £95, which come complete with the sleeve nuts.
