Need 2 30A bosch relays- Help

[the jiffle king]

Anyone live any where near Windsor and can sell me tonight 2 30a bosch relays. I need to test them to get my car running for tomorrow morning and am willing to travel?

Are these the fuel pump and ECU grey tin/metal topped relays for the Chimaera?

If so I have 2 sitting in my garage. Free to a good home. Used and replaced on my old Chimaera as I thought they looked a bit tired (sad, I replaced stuff before it let me down).

Obviously not that urgent then ...

In emergency to get you mobile use any relay. You've got several to choose from right there in the car, and you can get spares from most filling stations. Just remember if you use an ordinary relay for the fuel pump, to pull the relay out when you leave the car parked, otherwise you'll have a flat battery when you get back to it.

If you have no use for them I wouldn't mind having some spares?

Thankyou for the responses, I had a differnt emergency which meant I could not get on the net to check and means I won't be using that car for a few days so I can go through the normal method

Thanks

What are the model numbers for those relays?

I'm in the process of putting together a spares pack to remain in my car and things like the relays are up high on the list of must have items.

Any twin/double relays can be carried as spares, they are Ok for most of the relays in the fuse box as well. Even tho changeover relays are used the central pins are not connected - in fact the fuse box only has support for the central terminals in relays 4, 8 & 11. I've not seen changeover used (rather than just the make/break) even in the Chim aux relay panel for indicators / seats... So a couple of these will suffice for

Fuel & Main (ECU 'gubbins')
Dip, Beam, Fans, Horn (main Fuse box)
LH & RH Indicator, Heated Seats (Aux Relay Panel)

The extras (odd type of relays/timers) needed are:

Wash/Wipe
Courtesy light (Not critical)
Flasher (in aux panel)
Heated Mirror timer (in aux panel - not critical)

BTW, the relay quoted in the bible as the flasher - is actually the heated mirror timer/defeat on my Chim.

FYI the layout / wiring of my 94 auxilliary relay panel (next to heater controls under dash top) is shown at www.dspen.com/TVR/aux_relay_panel.gif

Sorry if I'm being a bit dumb here but I've 'lost' the wash/wipe relay from my fusebox, are you saying that I can just buy any normal double win relay and that will do the job?

For the wash wipe, its a special, Ford i believe from memory. Same with the interior light timer, special. I carry link wires with spade connectors, rather than relays, then you just link beween pins 30 and 87, since carrying them never had to use them.

Scuse my Enlish, but extras, were the different (special if you will) relays/timers.
