Water Hose Warning

Just by chance I noticed the top hose from the radiator is nearly worn through by rubbing on what looks like an electrical connection.
What I wanted to ask is whether this electrical connection is a Land Rover fitting or is it something an aftermarket installer may have fitted. It's a bit dark and cold to try and find where the wire goes right now.

I'll let the pics tell the story.
Apretiate some answers as soon as you can so I can call the dealer in the AM.

If it's any help, mine has the connector (for the ABS/TC sensor I think) clipped to the inner wing with a sort of tandem Terry clip. Looks like the clip is unique to that type of connector.

With the amount of cables, sensors and connectors under the bonnet now, it may be prudent to check if this sort of issue is evident elsewhere before something chafes through and becomes more serious.

Dealer had a look and cable tied the hose away and ordered new hose.
