yeah i found your old post. in your old post and similar one's on the subject, yourself , skipton and others i think mention airbags and sensitive environments and so on....my dad is good with tools/wiring etc. i think he worked for ford in the 70's. but, i dunno if its safe for him to mess about with a job like this.
it was a friend of a friend - not sure if we got decent discount. I think total price was £260-270
he didnt mention anything about cleaning it. they did it about a month ago and basically replace it. dad kept the old part, so we still got it.
yeah, what you say sounds like the part. i have the receipt if anyone wants to no more.
