Basically I need a relay which when pulsed gives 2 mins (ish) on the second side.. any ideas?

What for? Something like a heated rear window or a wiper relay?

My plan is for once the ignition is turned on, you only have say 2 mins to press the engine start button, thus also meaning you can only press it once and it wont operate again (for example when the engine is running)..

You need a multi-functional timer, the type used in industrial control panels.

Go to any good electrical wholesaler that deals in industrial not just domestic gear and ask for the above.

I would advise that you use the output of the MF timer to switch a relay just in case the load you are switching is too inductive.

The data sheet that comes with the timer is prey self explanatory.

Shouldn't cost more than £15.

There are a lot of these type of timers on the market. I used one on a Westfield, the same way you have mentioned. They are normally only low amp contacts, so its best to trigger a heavier relay with them.
The post above seems to suit your needs though.

a cheap option would be to use a heated window relay, I wired in a peugeot 306 one in my old phantom...
