Nothing was plugged into it before you stipped out the car? Or if car was already stripped can anythin be plugged into it or is it a sealed unit?

Ignore that mate, it would just be a wiring plug.

As it has 3 wires running to it and its a sealed unit, it must be some kind of feed back sensor for the ECU. What I dont know! In car air temp for air con (if or was fitted), Fuel cut off inertia, something along those lines. If you disconnect it and do a fault code check it might give you some idea.

makes sense,its looks like some sort of inertia device,there again it could have been part of the aircon which was removed a while ago
unfortunatley i wont be getting any fault codes as i'm running simtek now which i understand loses the diagnostic tool
one of my mates is going to check the workshop manual
cheers for your help anyway
