Speed sensor cuts out intermittently

I've got a 2003 Ford Fiesta LX 16V 1242cc 3rd hatchback (Non ABS)

While im driving the speedo cuts out. Sometimes for a few seconds then back on again, Sometimes for 5-10 minutes then back on again. Every other dial including the revs are fine and stay working. Don't have any loss of power as some people have described.

I've come to look at it this weekend, and as some people say, get to it via taking out the battery tray.

So took battery out, battery tray out, battery tray support bracket out and now im struggling to find what im looking for

Ive read and it says in the haynes manual that its mounted on top of the transmission, above the left hand driveshaft

But i can't find anywhere online a picture showing you what or where it actually is

I've took a few pics myself of what i think it might be and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out as to what or where it is. Some pics below

On this pic it's basically right in the centre of the pic just off where the flash is focusing

On this pic it's the thing with a white top and what looks like purple plastic

On this pic it's what looks like it's been chewed by a rat with tape wrapped around it

OR is it neither of these?

Thanks in advance
