As above....does anyone know how much it would be to repair?

Without knowing what vehicle it's for. I guess tree fiddy.

Thanks for that!:0)
I should have said its a Renault Clio x reg 1.4

2 bolts, one plug and possibly dialing the sensor in on the ECU with the diagnostics computer (but probably not)?

Shouldn't be more than an hours labour.

You can google the price of the part yourself.

Squirt of WD40?

Very common fault and you should go on a Clio forum to get the clean and grease procedure, as well as the proper way of refitting your old unit so that the car relearns the parameters properly. Could cost you a blob of electrical grease and an hour of your time.
