    yes it is the vehicle speed sensor. it doesnt need to be connected but you will find yourself stalling alot whilst slowing down

    It really DOES need connecting, its not only annoying stalling whenever you press the clutch down, but its also quite dangerous say if your on a motorway, brake sharply and put the clutch down if someones diving in your lane off a sliproad for example, the engine will die...
    Not very cool when cars are doing 80/90 behind you...

    ok guys thanks, also on the x16xel i know it has the immobiliser, the ecu has the key taped to it at the moment, is this going to be a ok place for it to sit, so it switches off the immobiliser?

    I still have this black.brown on the x16 plug that spare

    Nope, has to be the exact one that came on the car.

    Its a black plastic box, with a ring around it(where the ignition barrel should fit)
