It is worth persevering with it, because i had one from Matt which did the same. In the end i managed to find one of the genuine OEM ones in a packet from 2004 which went straight in and worked first time. Worth a hunt around ebay for genuine.

What i found with the after market one, was that actually it wasn’t going all the way down the hole. It was pushing out against the backplate and the backplate wasnt rigid enough to keep it in the hole, so it would work fine for 5 miles or so, then work itself out and start failing again.
