Why are you replacing them may I ask? Simply as I am trying to diagnose a high rpm misfire and I read somewhere that swapping them over can cure the high rpm misfire...

I'm not......... My car is perfecthehe

My mate asked me to get him a couple, he thinks one is playing up.... (pump won't prime, but if he taps the relays it does)

Why would swapping two identical relays change anything (assuming they both work)?

Two suggested reasons:

The connections might have a bit of corrosion on them so pulling them apart and refitting them often clears any corrosion. Also, a tap can sort a problem so messing with them can shakes them up a bit. But this would indicate that they need replacing and soon.

Some contact cream can help the contacts.

Better make sure you don't mix them up then otherwise you will be in trouble hehe
