I've removed one of these before but I can't remember how I did it. It was a coupe of years ago and Haynes doesn't help either.
I can see it's got a spring clip of some sort but can't free it. Any advice appreciated!
Cheers

The brain cell is a bit rusty this evening but I think this is one of those where you push the metal clip in along the long side to release the clip

Re: Speedo sensor plug removal
Finally removed the plug.
It appears that there are 2 different types of speedo plug. The one I remove a while ago was a standard plug like many of the plugs around the car (D shaped). The one tonight is a rectangle with a spring clip retainer and a cow at arms length to get off! It seems I'll have to swap the senders over.
Is there anything I need to know or is it a straight swap?

No image buddy. Youll have to host it somewhere else
