New here - http://japautosolutions.com/acatalog/brakes.html or try any of the breakers, Bellhill, Bongobits, etc, or any of the Find a part type interweb searches, but they do seem to be a bit sought after second hand :(

Only quote i've managed so far is from Bell Hill Garage for a new sensor and i can now appreciate why people whip out the bulb it's a total rip off at £157+vat! Also, have been told that 2nd hand ones are not available as they're nigh on impossible to remove without trashing them.

Do you mean it's nigh on impossible to remove the sensor itself without trashing it? Just an idea...How about pricing up a second hand hub, because when you remove the hub, the sensor can come with it.
