Yes, the horse shoe clip is separate. I normally put it on the sensor first then slide the whole thing in the hole.

The wearing does not damage that clip though, the light will be on first.

I think that's what I did on mine.....but on the wife's car the cable is shredded, the end is completly missing. No idea why a warning isn't showing unless it was cancelled. It's just coilled up ot of the way....idiots

anways....I shall orde a new one and hope the clip comes with it....either that or it's blu tac

I've got a new sensor cable sitting in the garage waiting to be fitted. It's a Pagid one ordered from ECP and DOES include the little clip.

You're welcome. It's a good deal at ECP and you can get another 5% back if you use quidco. Worthwhile on larger purchases. Got me £18 back on my recent brake and suspension arm purchase.

I've purchased many a thing from them...25 to 30% off usually (probably overpriced a little to start with in MFI terms I don't doubt)

Got a quidco account now....might have another nosey
