Massive offroader... defeated by carwash!

Well, I finished my banking and hiked back - took about an hour. Might have been a bit nicer had it not been 35 degrees + quite windy.
I left it facing the sun with the hood up - engine was really quite dry - so I'm guessing the crank sensor was indeed the culprit. I went back to the car, cranked her over and she fired right up as though it was perfect. No check engine light, no nothing.
Here's what she looked like!

I have yet to break down, but I have to say, it will look damn fine when it is...
My Jaguar left me stranded one time, but it was the prettiest looking broke down car I've seen.

I had a 99 XJR, but sold it to get my Disco. I needed 4x4, but wanted to keep some of the engineering and comfort of the Jag. I do miss the XJR, and may get another, we'll see.
So we got another snowstorm up here, decided to take the Rover in. Crossing over from CT into MA on a back road, I hit the unplowed area of mass with a splash... and out she went again. It wasn't that big of a splash, it was maybe 6" of wet snow.
Got it towed back home and took another vehicle to work.
So, assuming this is the crank sensor - What should I do? Replace it or clean connections and dielectric grease the plug connectors? or both? Do these have a tendancy to dry and crack or anything?
