vehicle speed sensor - drives the speedometer.

I think it is cable drive to speedo, off somewhere else on gearbox

surely a '97 model would be electronic speedo. it has three wires coming out what looks to be a bevel drive gear box, am pretty sure it looks like a speed sensor of some kind. either that or reverse switch with three wires for some reason! it is manual 5spd right!

Yes, manual 5 speed.cable for odometer comes out from gearbox on firewall side.this hoo-flicky thing is to the front of vehicle.vehicle is european.if that makes any difference.I will go take another photo.

you dont need a reverse light for a wof

I thought if they were fitted they had to work. Would suit me fine if I can just blank it off.

i am not sure if its still the case but my nissan safari i had 10 year ago blew its revers light switch and i did not need it as far as i recall the wof guy told me not needed and it did have had a revers light, hence the faulty switch
