fuel pump relay?

[robertp]

Help needed please - Chim conked out 50yds from home yesterday (thank f*** not an hour before as was in a dodgy area and had left roof in garage) Anyway, this happened couple of months ago and after fiddling about with fuel pump isolator seemed to cure itself (Symptoms were no fuel/couldnt hear pump whirring to prime)
So this happening again went straight to isolator and fiddled/tapped/bypassed and zilch - arse local garage suggested its prob pump relay, and last fix was prob coincidence, so question is - where do i find relay and test it? and if its buggered is it tvr specific or can i get one locally?
I have got a bible but its at home and im at work so thought i'd try you guys first in case i cant get what i need from it.
Thanks for any advice.....

2 metal relays located in the mass of wires which is probably resting on your battery and which the ECU connects to the end of.

Std Bosch part - make sure you get the right one (there are 2 to replace, both the same part no.). There was a thread started by me in the main TVR section of this forum a few weeks with part numbers and the prices.

Matt - I take it you mean the one with the diagonalmark across it? what is the other that trefor refers to?
Sorry for stupid questions!

In this picture the other one is hanging off the brown wires just behind the first one. You'll find it - they're both the same part. I don't know why you need two before you ask.

I had the same problem, couldn't get the things off. Now fixed courtesy of Dreadnought.
