Well that hasn't gone according to plan! Had a go at removing the pins from the old plug - 1 came out fine, but the other 2 snapped  1 was heavily corroded anyway.
I think my best option will be to pop it down to my local indy and get them to put 2 new pins on so I can reassemble the plug.
For now I've just wrapped them in insulating tape and left them dangling, with 1 wire fitted in the new plug.
I think the pins are crimped rather than soldered, so as long as they don't have to trim anything much off the wiring in situ it ought to be possible to do it with the aid of a helper to take the strain on the wire and stop it disappearing!
