Red Pektron relay for SEAC

[Ian350]

I think this is playing up in my 420 SEAC. I don't know if its a common wedge part or something different to the norm. It is the red relay in the corner of the fuse board. It seems to control the fuel pump - when it feels like it. I haven't starting phoning around yet but does anybody know the best place to get a new one from? Thank you

Every flapper wedge or flapper range rover (pre hotwire) has got one, should be easy enough to get from a motor factors, its called a steering module!
I think I may have a spare in a box of old bits but wouldn't like to say I can find it or that it is any good, if you really get stuck I'll go looking.

Thanks for the offer of letting me have your old one. After great difficulty the only place I seemed to be able to find one was TVR Car Parts - thanks Neil. I'll plug it in this weekend and see if I can wake the sleeping beast. Am I confident? Well.......not exactly....

Thanks Honestjohn, I'll be studying this in great detail.

Needless to say I plugged the new relay in and ..... still dead. So I called the mobile auto electrician again and arranged a day for him to visit. He was amazed that the new relay hadn't fixed it. I checked the SEAC on quite a few days in the run up to make sure it was still the same and nothing had changed. Then, on checking everything was ready for the guy literally the night before, it roared into life. I then swapped the old relay back in, turned the key and everything's working again - with the old component.

Strangely, I should have been furious, but that noise that I hadn't heard for so long was just glorious!
