Cheers for the replies! Well, thats what im hoping to be fair, eventually i decided to try and shatter the sensor and recover as much as i could. Didn't really go to plan as most on it fell into the box. However, with the sensor out its still p**sing oil everywhere, i take it the sensor isnt sealed away from the fluid, as when i stuck my finger in the hole (trying to be careful how this comes across) to try and get some of the debris out, i could feel fluid, and whenever i jacked he car up, it leaked even more, fast!

So know the sensor is somewhere in the box, i started her up with the wheels off the ground and stuck it in gear, heard abit of a noise (like putting something plastic in a blender) but then it stopped.

I mean its a T reg focus, so isnt the end of the world, sorry if ive offended anyone, so i hope whats left of the sensor just stays out of the way.

Anyway, where is the drain plug and top up bolt on these, it got dark by the time i'd finished mangleing everything up.
