I have a new one mate if you need it £15.00 . First have a look at the cable about 20 - 30cm back from the sensor. If it has wire crimps then check them first. I noticed the weather had got in and had corroded the crimps. I solderd on the new plug and cable that you get with the sensor and tried that first and it worked and its still working 5 years later.
