Fuel pump relay

Does anybody know where the fuel pump relay is, and how i can identify it; colours of wires going to it etc.

Cheers

In the loom in the passenger footwell. It is the one that clicks when the ignition switches the pump on. It should have different markings to the others as it is an electronic special.

Thanks. Is it a main dealer part only ?

It's one of the two relays that have small metal cases, dangling off the main loom. The other relays are bigger and have plastic cases. The fuel pump relays are special in that they are Bosch dual pole relays rather than the normal run-of-the-mill changeover relays, and they're relatively hard to get hold of. Land Rover dealers and TVR specialists will supply them but will relieve you of about £18 each for them.

If you get stuck, the car will run on a normal changeover relay, but remember to pull it out when you leave the car or you'll have a flat battery a couple of hours later.
