Thanks J.

There the ones, I asume it ok to have black plastic ones.

Got some a lot local motor factors,bloddy 6.50 each though.

Also order some of flea bay at 1.99 each.

Got 12 of flea bay as may as well change the lot, if there any good, if not its only £24.00 only twice of what the motor factors charged for 2.

When changing relays watch out for subtle differences on the pin numbering. I got caught out as I missed the centre pin was numbered 87a on several but only 87 on another, caused me loads of stress. It's very easy to miss on a dusty old relay. Also the 'quality' relay sockets that TVR use often means that when you push the relay in the front, the wires push out the back!

Have fun!

Have to than Rev for the link. He put me on to them a while ago. But I did check the legend first and used one already to replace my chattering fuel relay.

Thanks for that D1,

Will have to look out for it.

Looks like I may have a few spare's if they are different types.

Also do not replace the red one with a relay as its not a relay at all and is the 'steering module' which contains 3 diodes and a resistor. Has nothing to do with the steering either!

Thank you,

I knew not to touch the red one, but forgot to remove it when I counted them in my head, as did not have the car when I ordered them,

I'm sure I can sell a few for beer tokens at BBWF

Just checked my relay arrangement. I have 17 of them in addition to the 'red' one which on mine is labeled 'ECU reverse polarity safety relay'. Most of the rest are numbered

. . 30
85 87a 86
. . 87

But the ECU + FI relay is numbered

. . 30
85 87 86
. . 87

the fuel pump relay is numbered

. . 30/51
85 87a 86
. . 87


and the fan relay (4 pin only) is numbered

.. 86
85 ... 30/51
.. 87

If you fit a relay with 'a' on the centre pin of the ECU FI relay, the car will run for about 2 seconds then stop and cause you to scratch your head for days, weeks even, call in vehicle sparkies at great expense, make you believe your ECU is knackered etc etc Well that's what happened to me until that very nice and very very clever man Mark Adams came to the rescue over the phone.

wow top info.

I'm sure I only have 12, but have a flapper systems, maybe the hotwire needs more, that if your's is a hot wire.

I'll make sure I don't mess up, I think the 4 on the left I swapped over are all the same.

Thanks again
