lastly, connect the brake sensors. On the controller side, you have two identical grey/black 2-pin JST connectors:

Andy has gone home. I usually do out of hours support when the office is closed.
Do take one step at a time, it's easier to master the wiring that way.
I appreciate all of this.
I'll have to leave it till the morning now, or my wife will not be happy.
Mornin' all.
Well red/black/blue turned out to be pedelec.
It connects to red/black/blue at the controller.
Red/black/white is the only one left, so that must be speed sensor, and the only one left at the controller for it to connect to is red/blue yellow.
Trouble is now I get pedal assist again, but for only one half turn of the pedals, then nothing for the other half turn. This repeats over and over.
I also have no speedometer.
I've checked all connections ad nauseam.
I've cleaned the magnet wheel and the sensor.

Let's fix first the pedal sensor.
Check that the magnet disc still has all its magnets and it turns correctly together with the cranks.
Check that the LED on the pedal sensor flashes correctly when you turn the cranks.
If the problem persists, can you email support@wooshbikes.co.uk some closeup pictures of the pedal sensor and the magnet disc, and also of the old controller so I can identify it? I can access the support mailbox.

Fixing things is easier if you and I are on the same page. Let's fix first the pedal sensor, when that works, then sort out the speed sensor. Leave the speed sensor unplugged. I need you to follow the suggested steps. There is a logic in what I suggested.
Well, scrolling up and down, I can see that we are indeed on the same page 
As regards the bike, I'll go and have a look at the sensor in a while.

the main thing in troubleshooting anything is to keep the number of variables as small as possible. Let's sort out the pedal sensor first and leave the speed sensor disconnected for the moment.
Which means I'll have to take the controller and all of that spaghetti out again to disconnect it.
Is it really necessary?

You shouldn't have put it all back together until it was working properly. Do one connector at a time. Use a meter to determine the connection sequence. Use logic. Test. Just putting random connectors together because they fit will only get you into trouble.
We know you have a working LCD, controller, throttle and trunk cable.
We know you still have problems with the pedal sensor and the speed sensor.
Follow these steps:
1. remove the battery.
2. undo the 4 screws, remove the cover of the controller compartment which has the battery connector on it.
3. pull the controller out of its compartment, put it on top of the controller box or pull it out sufficiently so you can see everything easily.
4. Slide the battery back half way so it still sits safely in its rack, then connect the battery connnector on the cover of the controller compartment to the battery.
Now you have the electrics connected and you can see everything easily.
Next steps:
5. Unplug the speed sensor and the brake sensor, leave the pedal sensor connected.
6. Test the pedelec function.
If that's working, next steps:
7. connect the brake sensor and test
If that's working, next steps:
8. Connect the speed sensor and test
If that's working, next steps:
9. disconnect the cover of the controller compartment from the battery
10. Reinstall the cover of the controller compartment.
11. Reinstall the battery.

Right.
speed sensor disconnected.
Pedal assist working like a dream
This is a result, as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks very much, Woosh.
I'll go through that sequence after this cup of tea (or tomorrow, if I'm too knackered).
now we need some pictures of the speed sensor's connector on the wheel side so we can match them with the wires and connector on the controller side.
If you can't post the picture here, email pictures to support@wooshbikes.co.uk, I can repost them on this thread.
