Thanks for this - all understood. I've checked the wires into the plug and actually put a replacement plug in place, disconnecting both wires to the connector at the sensor end, and reconnecting to the new plug, to ensure no corrosion etc causing an issue. All sitting pretty so I don't think its at that end. Could be a break anywhere along the wire I suppose but would be unusual in a sheathed, protected cable I presume? Process of elimination on my side suggested cluster end. That's kind of how I got there.
