Hi guys. could someone PLEASE do me a 2 minute favour? Could you go out to the engine bay of your tech 1 sports please, and copy down the part numbers for your fuel relays? They are under a small black plastic cover on the passenger side of the engine bay (for those who dont know)

Can you please post a description of the relay (colour/part number if present/ number of pins if possible)
if anyone has fast access to a digicam, if you could do me a pic, that would be super-star beer-buyingly good!

THANK YOU ALL!

according to My Haynes, it should always be live and disengage when ignition is switched or something gay... at least thats what my dad read... but then again, he tried setting fire to the thing once...... so i'll ignore that, change relays and evaluate after.

I owe u some cool foamy beverages at aces mate! thank you!
