Does it say in the manual DO NOT seal with PTFE. Or does it say DO NOT remove switch unless tank has been drained of air?

Agreed, manual probably states "not not remove unless air tank is drained".
But why ask a question for advice, then not wait for an answer before stating your going to to it anyway, pointless post......

I might be wrong , but doesnt the compressor work between 7.5 and 12 bar?
Not that it makes that much difference, but i had a feeling the compressors would regularly kick out 9bar

I think the OP might be referring to the subtle hints in the workshop manual :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet Microcat shows that the switch is available separately (part number RQH000130) for around £50 (e.g. http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php?xProd=136074) whereas the complete tank assembly (RQN500020) is nearer £550 which presumably is why the OP is asking why cant the switch simply be replaced.
Heres someone whos tried it :

The switch allows a pressure of 11.8 bar (171psi) to be maintained in the tank

Bloody ridiculous. First of all £50.0 for a £5.00 pressure switch, then don't replace it. The world has gones completey bonkers. Evacuate the tank unscrew sensor and seal it, job done.

Looks like marketing and sales departments now write the workshop manuals. :doh:

Makes you wonder sometimes who companies are employing these days as technical writers. Probably some bod straight from Uni who knows sod all and has never had a pressure switch or air tank in his hands. Most likely health and safety related crap.
