I'm not to sure where the relays are on an M40.If the car has a long black plastic ducting on the bulk head then try to look inside there,i think it just clips off ?

on the m40 there is a long plastic thing running along the bulk head, directly under the windscreen.

rip it off, its properly attached.. there are two relays under there i think the white is the fuel one and orange is the dme....but could be other way round cant remeber.

You're quite right, iamjj, it is the other way around!
