its not the clock mate. but very similar with the plug in wiring thats needed.

as said it clips to the dash on the lower dash section drivers side, if you remove the lower section over the fuse box and below the steering column you will see it clipped backwards to the main dash assembly.

was just a guess mate, and a very large one at that i had a look at mine and it looks like a useless bit of junk so i thought it could have been a pollen filter Come to think of it, i might have been looking at something else Mmm maybe i should stay off that booze..

The connector looks a little bit like the Wipac unit under the dash on the left had side but I thought your Esc was a early version so maybe its a standard alarm?
