I can see that I may end up replacing back the 'faulty relay' and wait and see if it gets too hot again. I have to admit it overheated on the hottest day (32C) in UK and I had a rally plaque on the front grille so everything stacked against it. It certainly hadn't complained previous to this...
And I am sure it will be annoying...at least I have an option now.
We will see..
