Guys, thanks for all your help.
I've just got back from the main dealer and Pugsley you are right, I should have taken to chassis number. However, they were very helpful and did check agaist the reg number and say a new one would cost £27.67 and will take 7 days as there are none in the UK. They don't know if it has a spade or bullet connector but will check when it arrives.
The original 15/mm (ish) sensor had to be drilled out and obviously destroyed, the 1st replacement has a flat red insultion band at the collar, not as pronounced as the one in the pic posted by dazerede, the 2nd a Cambiare make No VE718022 has a yellow band. Both supplied by reputable car parts suppliers at a cost of about £7 each.
I'm new to the forum and will try to work out how to post pictures. As I said earlier, I inherited my late son's loved SJ410 15 years ago and can't bring myself to sell it, although I have kept it roadworthy it still hasn't done 40k. The wife can't drive it (no power steering) and throws her all over the place (i love it!), but she don't want to sell it either.
Again, thanks for all your help, I will post a reply when the dealer one arrives.
Cheers, Dave
