Only just got back on the PC, cheers for that mate will have a go and see what happens, i know the voltage at the coil pack was droping to 10v at cranking so that wont help so will have to do it when its being started off another car so it gets a good 12-13v off the other cars alternator.

Glad to know their all the same thou! althou i did get a sensor off of a mk5 CVH efi escort and noticed the other day when i checked it was about 1cm shorter!! so may need to get/borrow one off of a fiesta or something and try that aswelL!
