Cheers anyways lads, I managed to get one with a few inches of wire from a local scrappy and seems to work fine...it hasn't fixed the problem though

And that XR2i CPS dosn't work i'm afraid, I presume its because it dosn't reach in far enough like I said above.

So what CPS to use then? Just for future reference more than anything, as I don't think this is what is causing my bad running now.
