Default broken connector.

Hello fellas,
Ive got a broken connector/sensor on my 2wd cossie engine and i dont know what it is.
Its on the left hand side of the block, down the long side situated at the front near the turbo and its a 13mm bolt which screws into the block just under the red camshaft cover.
The connector which went on it is a right angled rubber thing like a HT lead and its got a screwthread which has broken and exposed a small spring which goes into the hollow 13mm bolt into the block.
Im thinking its the CTS but not sure, any offers please and where can i get them.
Hope this makes sense!!
Cheers.
Muffster.

It is indeed the coolant temp sensor and it feeds the signal to your dash gauge mate. All tuners stock them, as do ford of course.

As STU says temp gauge sender, CTS on these is at back of head other side, right at the back by a water pipe, screws into a metal/alloy small plate that is held onto engine by two 6mm threaded bolts normally cap head allen screws, the water pipe there is also part of this.
Make sure that it is a proper cossie one you get as they are calibrated, which is what the coloured band is on them.
