Cheers for the in put both, much appreciated.

My understanding is that speed sensor for manual and automatic were very different, the part recommended to me above is referred to as a crankshaft sensor but when searching for manual transmission the parts I get back look different, also much cheaper than the automatic.

Gonna get some advice from Ford mechanic but in the meantime but if anyone has experienced this issue or can point me in right direction then great.

Cheers lads
