The clocks are not plug and play even if you had a set with the EXACT same number, they are coded to the ECU along with the transponder in the key so if you swap the clocks the immobiliser will stay on.

Its behind the vacuum reservoir, (the black plastic ball on the front of the block held by one hex bolt) I would also replace the thermostat housing as the little plastic tags get brittle and fall off and usually end up stuck in the thermostat....sticking it open!!

Just to add to what the others have said, Remove whole driveshaft and do it on a bench, the genuine ones are thicker and stronger BUT so are the metal clips that hold them at both ends. You are supposed to use a special tool to crimp them tight. I had to borrow a tool (about 2 feet long) there's no way you can squeeze them tight with pliers or similar!

You must match the FULL part number exactly as there are different versions, they look identical but if the part number is slightly different it WILL NOT work. If you cannot read the full number off your sticker then get it from a dealer parts department. I found this out the hard way!! PS. I have a brand new one sat here that is wrong for mine so if you find your part number drop me a line.
