Ford sold me the wrong speedo sensor.

I paid £28 for the one i had, and they wanted £68.00 for the correct one, basically told him to go fuck himself.

Had to remove the battery, battery tray, throttle body, throttle cable, airbox and air box assembely, grazed both my hands to shit, had to remove half of the engine bay wiring loo out of the way and wedge a couple of water pipes just to get to it.

Got the sensor out, it was all chewed up on the inside parts, caked in iron filings and had one massive like cornflake of metal on it aswell.

Cleaned it up and put it back in, works fine now, just snapped my only 8mm spanner so tommorow im going to bolt it back in fully, and change the gearbox oil, bit worried about all the metal and shit stuck to it

Getrag 6 speed boxes go for around £750 - £1000 i heard? Bit pissed off with it to be honest, one thing after another.
