I was told it was called the air inlet sensor, hence I have been referring to it as that. Does the image help?

Could be the connector itself, dirty contacts in the connector (not visible in the grey plug) or not related. Obviously it needs to click-lock into place to be fully-in.

Hi, Yours is a diesel yeah, would it make a difference that mine is petrol?
Sorry i missed this reply, my quote was from another site, which was very simular to your problem, and was a petrol car.

OK, with the help of a flat-head screwdriver, gently prise-up the tab (at the top) and take connector completely out. Re-insert and it should click once fully-in. Repeat the process 3 or 4 times just to give the contacts a scrub. It would be worth using some contact spray if you find this has affected behaviour of the symptom (hot/cold etc).

Ok did this.... I think it got a bit better siting, though it doesn't click cleanly into place, however in doing it, the top of the connection holder snapped off as I moved it, fortunately it doesn't seem to be affecting it's hold at all.
Do you recommend getting this replaced, and if so can I do it myself? Does it need doing?

Well it would be worth splicing a new (2nd hand) connector on there anyway incase it has internal bent contacts and that was going to be my next guess, if you want to make sure about that connection being the issue.
It should not affect electrical contact in the mean-time, it would need to be done by a garage but it's a very small job.
See if you get any improvement now with what you did, otherwise might be the gray connector faulty all along or even a completely different issue as I said above.

Take the car back to the garage, that replaced your sensor (and use a bit of your charm) and see if he can test the power to the connector, so you can rule that out, if ok, ask him what else it could be.
You never know he might test and rule out other sensors.

Thank you, I will see how it behaves tonight when I try and start the car between patients.
