Just in case anyone ever has a similar issue and finds this thread, yesterday I replaced the crankshaft position sensor as it was about the only thing I hadn't touched. When I went to change it I found that the cable tie which I thought was, well, tidying cables, was actually holding the connector together! So I've swapped this for a Bosch replacement and all has been ok since.
Out of morbid curiosity I started the car with the new sensor - fine. Unplugged and tried again and it just turned over without trying to start as before. Plugged in again and it's fine so it must just have been an inconsistent connection at the plug, which the cable tie was not solving. Who'd have thought.
Hope this helps someone one day.
