Sounds like it has ended up being fitted upside down!!

It works on a proximity switch and an actuating magnet in a float so that when the float drops, it puts the light on..

Don't think so to be honest Dave but I think I may have seen a possible substitute for the washer and header tank sensors.

I have also found the pad sensor warning wire plugs that usually break off.

The electronic dipstick is no longer available.

Fuel light is on the tank sender unit for the guage...

These sensors are available from many different Ford, not just S1s. So they cannot be considered rare. The round 3-pin connectrs are still available from large electronics suppliers like Farnell.
Lights flashing on startup means that there is fault in the circuit.
