Thanks Badger51 and Nodge68, that is fantastic news. I thought I was looking at a complete new harness to get the plug fixed. Found the plug on RS components website. Any idea what size female pins to go for to fit the plug? The options are 1.5mm and 2.8mm. The 1.5mm option has 2 subcategories (1) sicma 3 and (2) sicma 3 plus. Not sure what the "plus" bit stands for.

Hey Nodge68, Have you tried attaching the new plug yet? I'm trying to work out how to remove the old inserts/crimp terminals from the plug without cutting the wires. Looking at the new plug and inserts, it seems that inserts do not have any locking "pins" and you just pull them out individually by the wire through the silicone insert at the superior border. It seems as though it's only the silicone insert that is holding the pins/crimp terminals in the plug. Thus, no pin instrument required? Does this sound right to you? MY10 TD4 SE Auto |

The moulding of the silicon mounting contains a lip that secures the pins, look at the pins and you can see the slot just below the termination crimp, this locates in the moulding, it's a one way lock otherwise the pins will push out when connecting, yes, you can pull them out with force but the pins may snap and the moulding will be damaged. This is a fairly standard cheap semi waterproof connection used in many electrical items, not just the automotive industry. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Yes months ago. Once the plug is assembled, and the end cap is pushed on, the pins are then locked in place. Here's some pictures I took while changing the plug. Sorry the order is reversed, the pictures start at the bottom and work upwards.
