Default Where does this plug into?

So Im doing a wire tuck on my Series 2. And ive been very anal on labeling everything as I go. I must have been getting tired towards the end, as Ive got this plug with no id, and no idea where it goes. Any ideas?

Cheers guys.

Reverse switch, you'll see the two prongs it plugs onto on the front of the gear box just behind the front mount.

Thanks for the reply guys, thats a huge help, and you were all right ....Annoyingly, I have another that is a standard block plug with spring clip. Im hoping its obvious when I put it all back together.

Is this about the std block plug or reverse switch? I checked my photobucket as i thought i had the photo too, but i can't find it.

What color is your connector?

The standard block plug. Ive been told its the mass air sensor that sits in the manifold. The reverse switch is sorted, just hope this one goes where ive been told.

There is no mass air sensor, manifold has a coolant temp sensor and (on later models) a knock sensor.
But it should be easy if it's the only one left as you'll have a sensor somewhere with nothing plugged into it.

It will be the knock sensor then, as mine is a late H plate. Im almost ready to put it all back together, just waiting on a Chrome Inlet Manifold I won on ebay to turn up. Thanks very much Joycey85, Ill bare that in mind.

Thanks mate, thats a massive help. The other plug without a label was the windscreen washer pump. Im still waiting for this blasted inlet manifold I won on eBay on the 17th December before I can move on.
