Might be worth getting it running and then waggling the exposed parts of the crank sensor wiring, see if you can provoke a failure.

Still, with another couple of sensors to try, you should make some progress.

(If not crank sensor) is there anything else that could be similarly heat sensitive :-\

Ok, I will do the waggle test this morning and see if it has any effect but.....
Now the painful bit :'( Being disabled I have to have it reliable again so.....
Just to cover all the bases I have just sent a request to both of the VX dealers in Leicester for the cost of an OEM CS Sensor. Until then I will try the ones which hopefully will arrive today. Trade club cost might be a great help on that one  :o
You have to give me credit for patience, perseverence (or is it stubborness) and the absolute refusal to be beaten though. Its looking like the meet I eventually do get to will cost me dray load of bevvy for my 'advisors'  :D ;D :y

 :y :y :y
Fitted the new OEM CS Sensor and ran it for a good while then took it on the road for a long run. No problems at all so it then got a good clean ouitside and in!
Ran it yesterday all day and no problems so it would appear that the CS Sensor was the cause of the problem after all.
At least it has now had a good going over and everything else it might have been has now been looked carefully at and anything that could be serviced or cleaned has been.
Only thing that has 'issed me off is that it started off with a full tank and after I had ran it ticking over and then road testing it cost me £57.00 this morning to fill it back up!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Happy as larry again ;)
