Well my new cam sensor turned up today in less than 48 hours and it was exactly what I ordered as well.  :y

I take Henry's point about crap pattern parts, so I'll have to see.  ::)  It's a VEMO, made in Germany and cost £37ish after discount and cashback.  They can be had on ebay for as little as £16!  ???  :-X

£16? Then get two and if you are agile enough to chane the sensor on the road if/when it lets you down....
Having a spare in the boot could mean that you will defeat Sod's Law and never have it fail?  :) :y

I ordered 2.5 litres of Triple QX interior cleaner and 2.5 litres of Triple QX tyre/bumper cleaner this week for the princely sum of £3.80 delivered..........the interior cleaner has arrived, the tyre/bumper cleaner is still to come....

The missing bit from ECP turned up, so I made a start.

Then hit the next snag almost straight away. Bugger.

Just popped into ECP to get an air filter for the Mondeo... £5.25 (1/2 price)  :y

I think the Mondeo will thank me for it, judging by how filthy the old one Ive just taken out.  :o
I reckon its the first time its been changed. That's main dealer servicing for you!

Try rubbing in a little used engine oil....I used to do that on a car that had black plastic front and rear bumpers that had faded, used to bring them up a treat :y
