If you google for "al6ndw thermocouple" there are any number of places that seem to sell it. Here's one, looks like it's just over £8 :

PLEASE NOTE : I am not recommending this site in any way, it's just the first one that caught my eye. But it looks like it should be easy enough to get hold of.

Next question - to all you gas men out there. Is this something that's DIY-able, or does it have to be a Gas Safe Registered person for this sort of job ?

Technically and with a jobsworth hat on, any safety device on any gas appliance should only be fitted by a gas safe engineer.
