Having changed 3 now, separately, the thought of having to remove the bumper is not attractive to a lazy old git like me!
Lastly - sensor 1 is (UK) nearside, yes? Looking to the rear of the car..?
Thanks guys

Yes - drill a hole in the centre of the sensor using a HSS drill bit from the rear of the car - match it to the size of self tapper you are using. It's better to use a small screw but screw it 10-15mm into the sensor rather than a large screw which might split the sensor body. This is not the prescribed method and hence no guarantee it will work but I've don't it more times than I can remember and it's worked perfectly every time and chap above was pleased with it.
Use something like a claw hammer to pull the screw and sensor out (but just pull, don't lever as you might damage the paint/bumper)
As for the numbering, up North it's like this :
