Mine is broken. I don't know the english name of the part which broke, but as you can see the dry plastic has snapped.

Does anyone know where I can have a new one, at least a new housing ?

The connector will be fine, they are sureseal connectors, and have a good connection regardless of the locking clip being broken.

If it doesn't make or stay connected then your only option is to cut off and solder a new connector on.

Oh you're right, the connector stays well in place without the locking clip, but I can't stand something is broken in my car :D

LOL, what I would do is undo the connector, glue the connector lock clip back in place, but file down where it goes over the little nipple (or even file the the nipple away) on the mating connector, that way it should just slip over it without breaking again.
