Sorry for another temp gauge question!

Hi Peeps,
Sorry for another temp gauage/LED question, have been reading through the WIKI and things but thought i'd check before I buy a relay!
We have a 1.9DG early van with the 43 type coolant relay, the coolant LED no longer flashes on start up and the temp gauge has stopped working. I checked the wiring to the sender and the sheath was damaged which had exposed to wire and caused corrosion, so cut this was out and re -wired. Sometimes very briefly when you turn the ignition on you can just see a tiny glimmer of the coolant LED and then nothing, so gauge stays at the bottom and no flashing. Removed 43 relay but seems to have no effect on the system.
Have a Sealey power probe, this shows continuity at the temp sender on thermostat, at the yellow/red wire on the relay and also at the instrument cluster pin housing, the small nut on the PCB is tight. If I remove the connector on the temp sender I loose the continuity light on the probe at the cluster multiplug yellow/red wire.
So it seems like the wiring is ok, before I buy a new 43 relay is there any checks you would carry out?
Thanks for your help,
Adam.
