Won't be the 'relay', but might well be the stalk. Confirm by linking the green/yellow wire to blue/red wire at the plug for the column switch with a short piece of wire, and then turning the ignition on.

took it apart just now its the stalk but it does work a little when i position it differently it why would that be play in the wires? might get away with fixing it torrow holding the wires back abit with cable ties :D budget fix hopefully
