The bar steward MOT laws ruined my life. My 3rd Gen will fail from the dash lights.
Error codes are thowing up a code 58 which is the n/s rear VSS. Iv cleaned it but still throws up the code.

Where can i get this sensor from. Ideally cheap.

Ratty - if it is goosed, you can fit 4g VSS's to the 3g - you'll need to cut and solder (and preferable heatshrink) to get the right plug, and shim the sensor with washers. Had to do two on my 3g when I had it and that worked fine both times
