thanks, it does pull off, it was just really tight. im changing the temp sensor because the temp guage on the dash doesnt work, im hoping this will get the guage working again, if it doesnt and i buy a set of clocks off ebay can i just swap them? will they pick up my mileage reading from ecu? im told the clocks might need to be coded, thanks.

Is it running right? A common fault is the temperature sensor! As for the clocks they will need coding back in with your current mileage. A few lads on here can do it. I have some 1.6 clocks hanging about if you temp sensor doesn't resolve the problem.
