I understand your ire at old post being resurrected with what you consider to be superfluous/non applicable info.
No issue with resurrecting an old post at all. The infinite scroll feature appears to have caused Gregory (in post 12) to respond yesterday to a comment made by Richard (in 2013 or an even older post). If he were reviving the thread with a new request or new information, that would be different, but the infinite scroll feature creates an unintentional result which is more comedic than valuable. I've turned the feature off.
I enlarged the photo and looked for a date code but couldn't find it. Maybe it's on the other side. That's important because the battery degrades while it sits on the shelf, so a sensor manufactured 10 years ago probably won't have a lot of life left. Maybe that's why they were so inexpensive.
Googling for TPMS sensor date codes, I found that some manufacturers use something like this: TPMS with an October 2009 (10/09) manufacture date.
So maybe that could be on another side of MarkyUK's unit.

Thought the same thing. Part # GX631A159AA fit Rovers ranging from 06 - 2019. Marky probably knows what year his came off of. Here's a pic of the backside:
RockAuto.com has OEM Siemens sensors on closeout (315zMHz / 433MHz) that are dirt cheap at $19.22 / $19.86 each, but that's probably because they're older than dirt and won't last much beyond the 30-day warranty. But if you're a gamblin' man ... https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...)+sensor,12036

That's why I went with the SE53004 (as Cee Jay listed), its a newer version, so more likely to be 'fresh'.
Stuart...
Those are the older model Siemens that have been replaced. The new model is the SE53004.
Course, RockAuto has those also on Wholesaler Closeout, but $10 more each:

I just bought some of these myself as I'm about due for some new boots.
HA!
Kj beat me by a couple minutes, guess I type too slow.
Course, I bought those danged things while I was mid-reply.
That's a great price. I bought 8 of them a couple years ago at ~$45 each. One set went into a new-to-me set of Senta wheels, while the other set was supposed to go into my original Carelia's, but have held off on getting new rubber for those.
I'm still using the original TPMS sensors after 10 years and see no reason to buy replacement sensors until after I get the TPMS Fault warning message. I won't buy the cheap, new old stock closeouts because the "savings" will disappear when the sensor battery dies and I have to buy a new one (or more) and pay for installation. You get what you pay for, although it pays to shop around for discounts.
Readers: Note the frequency stated on that unit (433 MHz), and use appropriately (i.e. not in the US).
Readers note that the majority of XK150's were actually sold OUTSIDE of the US
Actually to update this, I had one of my new ebay TPMS sensors fitted by my local tyre (tire in non-English) yesterday due to one of my CF valve caps seizing.
Just above the 'jaguar' legend there is a date of 2016 and then a 09, which I take to be Sept 16.
The tyre place had a new software tool that can accurately read the TPMS battery and the new one sat at 96% unused at 2.5yrs old, the older ones at 80-84%, guidance they gave was that they needed replacing at less than 50% but that the battery's depleted more quickly as they age. Am unsure if actually 'in use' they loose charge quicker than simply 'sitting on the shelf'
Given on my 14 car the sensors are coming up to 5yrs old it indicates that the originals may have another 7.5yrs before they need replacing

Read someplace that some TPMS sensors (don't know if it applies to ours), enter a 'sleep mode' when not in motion and only 'ping' once an hour, and when detecting motion above 20 MPH they 'wake up' and start 'pinging' once per minute (unless there is a sudden pressure loss, then they ping even more often).

I think this is accurate, memory serves that there is a centrifugal switch in them somewhere. Course then, how would a shop be able to read them once the car is parked? Delayed off maybe? Seems like a lot of tech for such a small thing.
Then again, my Smart Key batteries seem to last 4-6 years each.

I have a TPMS tester and the sensors can be read anytime . I check mine usually prior to driving the car after it had been rested over night. The tester gives me the serial number , temperature , tire pressure and battery condition. I believe they are on all of the time .

Yep mine the same model number as you've quoted, mine were purchased last year brand new off ebay after getting guidance from the UK forum, just found the original order placed and £47 inc delivery for 5, so around $60 in your money Quite cheap if only needed every 8+years
Just searched and can't find them for less than £15 each now, natch they are UK Mhz so useless to anyone stateside, am guessing different ranges used due to those frequencies allocated for other services in your country.
I'll save the $225 and put it towards new sensors after the tire shop tests them for free and says they're dead. I see no reason to buy anything with so little bang for the buck. Different conclusion if you're in the business; you need the tools to do the job.

I bought it at $149 when it 1st came out . I have 4 vehicles all with TPMS so no big deal . I also have a manual tire bead breaker so with that you just break the bead on the TPMS side and reach in to replace the bad unit. Don't need to re-balance the tires. Just another tool for the tool box.
