If you got connections at Ford, the stats cost about 4 quid. And for about 20p you can get a new fibre washer for your new switch - 6005731.
ahhh cheers for clearin that up lol

No, just the Stat. I think the Fan Switch is a Ford Dealer jobbie.

I wouldn't even bother getting my Grinder/Dremel out if I could buy one for a tenner. I don't make any money out of these, thats not my reason for doing it.
