i think the sensor would probably want a clean and is probably just blocked with cack, bit of WD40/electrical cleaner should see it right as rain mate.

iirc the sensor is on the bottom of the gearbox, well it is on other Pugs/Citroen so im guessing this is the same

Try this.....

Turn you ignition on but dont start it then turn it off and remove the key

Repeat this 5 or 6 times then start it.
