Looked in the bible but can't find it ? Of course, it's possible that I need stronger reading glasses....

My Fuse / Relay panel appears to be the one at the foot of page 243 in the Bible.
The beast ran fine Friday, then I disconnected the battery to charge it, just reconnected it, but the fuel pump isn't going. I suspect it's the immobiliser, but got to be worth checking the Relay, if I can find it !

^^^^^^^^

Blue socket is the fuel pump, black is the ECU. These are special Bosch or similar type relays, ordinary basic relays will flatten your battery.

Thanks guys, much appreciated ! my ruddy back has gone again and I can barely move, but as soon as I can il check the Relay.
It's done this before and it was the alarm / imobiliser, (which re set itself ) , but it's having none of it now.

Had an electrician test the relay and looks like it's shot.

Where is the best place to get one ? And likely cost ?

Make sure it is the relay that has a diode internally between terminal 86 and 85

Took it for a hoon and it seems to be running fine. I also cleaned the air filter ( that I fitted in 2012 ) which was a tad grubby, which has released some lost Horse power.

I had almost forgotten just how quick the beast still is, a couple of standing start sprints has me thinking that it's still producing the 300 hp that it was dynod @ some years back.

Any one know of any speed / sprint type events coming up ? I have always fancied having a go in the Brighton Speed Trials, but apparently it's full already.
