Can anyone tell me which relay no' is for the fuel pump?
And is it located in the fuse box area?

Thx

Dunno about the earlier chrome bumpered versions but on the facelift ones it's behind the plastic panel on the bulkhead

On six pots it's under a plastic cover just in front of the left strut turret. There are sockets for three relays, but probably only two fitted - the missing one is for an oxygen (lambda) sensor heater. The two fitted are the main DME relay and the fuel pump relay. The main relay has a couple of large red wires going to it amongst others, and the fuel pump relay has a green/violet wire amongst others.

Cheers Guys,
Mines got 6 relays fitted, all yellow.
Will have a look tomorrow to see which has the green/voilet wire to it.

Cheers

Not the relays in the fusebox.
