ABout £180 for the part from ford, and its a ford only part unfortunately. There are a few cheap fixes for this depending on what the problem is. Usually the plastic gears get mashed up in the IMRC so definately need replacing but sometimes it can be just a quick solder job to chage one of the electrical componants or the cable clip has broken.
