broke the mounting bracket off my vr sensor so need a "new" one asap as I was hoping to turn the engine over this coming week. Ford want £30

cheers

Couldn't you get one from a scrapper?

no scrapper nearby

why you not using the built in toothed whell on the XE???
if it's an external wheel you could try using the vauxhall sensor anyways. I don't think there is much difference as far as vr sensors go.

you have u2u!
