Right for those of you who have removed/replaced a reverse light sensor on the F16/F20 gearbox with it all in situ you'll know how awkward it is (without a deep dish 19mm socket)..

It's a 19mm but the multiplug stops you getting a normal 19mm socket in place, so then I try normal 19mm open ended spanner - no luck, then I try my angled 19mm spanner - it's on but no room to move due to the clutch cable arm and n/s gearbox mount..

Use a 21mm Spark plug socket and 1/2'' Ratchet and it fits almost perfectly.

Easy as pie if you access it from under the front bumper.
