Can someone check what the parts number on their fuel pump relay is. I need a new one and i think its Bosch AFU2913L but i'm not sure. The one i had in my car was a volvo lighting relay (which doesn't make me confident thats the right one to be there in the first place). Thanks for checking! All others apart from the big red one are the same right?

Wrong. All others EXCEPT ONE are the same TYPE but not necessarily the same rating - you want 20A minimum for the relays marked 'MAIN' or 'IGNITION'. Otherwise a minimum of 10A rating.
The odd-one-out is one of the fuel injection control relays which has two terminals labeled 87 (or 87a, I forget) - the others have an 86 and an 87.
There is no requirement for them to be a particular make or type number as long as the terminal designations are the same and they have 12v coils (ie not 6V, 24V etc.).
