Focus 2.0 tdci thermostat housing trouble

hello

the problem I am having is this. My thermostat is stuck open and causing overcooling of my engine.

I went to my local motor factors and purchased the thermostat housing for my car. When I took it to the mechanic he said I have the wrong part.

problem is. the motor factors are adamant it is the correct part which they obtained from Ford themselves.

the housing I have in my car has a connector at the top and there is a plug in it, the new part from ford doesn't

I have attached a photo of a diagram of the part I have fitted and  photo of the part from the motor factors and they look different.

the garage said they can't fit it because it doesn't have anywhere to plug in the top sensor.

Thanks for any help

Dekker
