Need some new TPMS sensors for my 2008 SC, (NAS).

Near as I can tell TPMS in America is always 315Mhz, so I think I can buy just any old set of sensors off eBay and be good?

A little concerned about fitment - random local tire guy warned me not all sensors fit properly in all rims.

Anybody have recommendations?

Well you already are aware of the frequency issue so that is the big thing. From what I understand you're right any old set should work but that is also based on eBay trawling I did for my 4.2 NAS SC at the time. It seems JLR uses the same TMPS in both Landrover and Jaguar from what I gathered. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

@ebajema - any problems with fitting them? Would you happen recall the brand/model/whatever? 2008 SC L322

This isn't a definitive answer, but after trawling through a ton of eBay ads and an assortment of various pics other people have posted in TPMS threads, it seems that to be sure of good fitment it's best to get the shorter/smaller style of sensor, similar to this pic.

Note that it is a clamping type, not a pressure fit, and observe also how there is only a slight angle between the sensor body and the stem, (some have no angle at all).
Some sensors work only in steel rims and some only in alloy, (and some can be used in both). The difference is the angle of the sensor body. In theory a steel-rim sensor can be used on an alloy rim just by flipping it around but it sticks up far enough then that the next time the tire is dismounted there's a good chance it will get broken.

(Posting all this here because I couldn't find a definitive thread on this particular topic. Hope it helps somebody!)

I believe that they are best not fitted at all. They always seem to be going wrong and setting off alerts when nothing is wrong. I prefer to check my pressures myself

Also, they apparently degrade quite quickly in salt and wet. How do I know? Because I just spent 4hrs by the A30 in Devon after the b@stard TPMS valve on my front right blew! They are all getting replaced for normal ones tomorrow. The tyre guy said it was really badly corroded and a to get out and change. 👒😡
