Or you you could go to your local scrapyard and get one for around £20. Well that's what mine cost when it went.

Disconnect for now, and sort out at your leisure, or just leave disconnected forever, it will do no harm

Mine's doing the same,but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to cars. (although I did buy a 3 litre elite, so I must have some intelligence. lol)

Could someone explain in detail, exactly what I need to unplug and where it is etc.

I would be eternally grateful

I think you just need to unplug it, not block the pipes.

It just under the front nearside bumper.
