   yes it is seperate mate, the cable is under the heat sheild above the exhaust, you will need to remove the heat shield to access it properly mate!
   
   
   also to tighten it up you will need to remove the heat shield as the relevant parts are hiding under it!

   You are best off replacing both at the same time because the other one might be on its way out too. And saves hassle of undoin the stupid shield and fartin around with the stupid idea
