Had a browse through the wiring diagrams and could only find two of the four and they were/are fed differently, one from maxi fuse and one from a relay controlled circuit, nothing is ever straightforward is it?

As above. The AC one straight from the 80a.

An ECU one comes from the ignition switch and through the immobiliser, then fuse, then to the ECU plug.

Ok after much stress and looking all over the car for the fault, it was traced down to a cable that had been lengthened from the battery to the fuses and come apart. I really should have checked there first madredface.
But all is good now and i actually heard my engine turning over after more than one year of it being in pieces bouncedrinkwoohoowoohoowoohoo
SO CLOSE NOW I CANT WAIT woohoo

give me a ring... i will try to dig out the instructions if i have them... i looked at mine on sunday and I changed to a 2 wire sensor as the original that you now have wasn't compatible with my new dash.
