Bargain bucket
Discussion
Just picked up this little lot via Ebay...
Something like 13 relays:
A selection of timer and delay modules:
Wash/wipe unit and ... er... I forget:
...and a selection of dash switches for good measure
:
All these are from an '86 SD1; the switches are no use (though their connectors could be!) but most of the relays and the wash-wipe are as used on the Wedge. A couple of the modules could be implemented as well with a bit of thought...
- courtesy light delay for a start.
Twenty quid the lot and with Halfords Chinese relays costing a fiver a pop, a bargain all day long
I love Pektron stuff, it's real cottage industry material
Between them and Lucas it's a wonder British cars ever moved...

I've got an old ice cream tub full of relays like your top pic, but they are all Bosch ones, so I think they will probably still work.... lifted over many years from various Audis, BMWs and VWs in the scrappers. And some indicator flashers, but not seen that Pektron stuff before, believe it or not.
I'm so ancient I can remember the original 6RA type relays from old Triumph saloons etc. and in fact still have a couple somewhere.

I also picked up most of an SD1 cruise control system as spares - the overspeed relay and cruise ECU alone are £92 at Rimmers, I paid £13 inc. carriage and got the column switch, vac pump and loom as well.
Most of the 'bargain bucket' bits are between £3 and £42 at Rimmers... and some are NLA. Of course this is the sort of stuff that's only useful if you need it but as time goes by there'll be less of it about so when it breaks it'll be harder to replace... that Jaeger unit (oil level monitor I think) uses a Texas Instruments IC that is obsolete, the internet even fails to turn up a datasheet for it so I suspect it was an application-specific chip like the Ferranti IC used in the injection ECU.
