Thanks Deo. Through your tipoff I've found a couple of UK suppliers on ebay selling for around AU$150 + shipping. That's a substantial saving on the domestic price, but I'm not sure if I'd also have to source the seals you're meant to get?

Have been in touch with the transmission specialist and their quote is around 2/3 what I got from the dealer (under $2,500). They are willing to fit my components which brings the quote under $2K but there would be a question mark over warranty if for any reason it wasn't right afterwards. With their supplied parts the work would be warranted for 12mths/20,000km. It's probably a good argument to let the shop supply the parts?

Edit: looking at the quote, the only things itemised are the sensor AM7M5R7H103BA, transmission fluid, workshop consumables and labour. So it looks like no seals or other items from the Ford quote. If the ebay sensor is a genuine Ford AM7M5R7H103BA then it must have everything, and I must still get a 12mth guarantee? Also if it's getting new fluid I should make sure they change the transmission filter, yeah?
