You are so right Doug - many thanks. After a bit of detective work and mental reasoning I have established that the fuel relay is the other end of the 4 relays in the fuse “box”. Having identified that it is a Bosch 0332014112 I have managed to track one down and hopefully it will be here mid-week. I can only say thank you to you all - a fantastic forum and as a novice I am heartened by the kindness shown.
Now, all i have to do is replace a bonnet knob that broke off (bizarre I know), and we will be in reasonable shape.
Yes, that relay will suit perfectly, and you are certainly not the first in having to replace one!
You might like to note that if in the future you need any replacement relays, it is important that they are “diode protected”
The diode is incorporated inside the relay capsule and its purpose is to quench any voltage spikes that might arise when the relay contacts operate. These could damage electronic equipment such as found in the ECU.
I have also come across a case of bonnet knob breaking when someone, unsure of the mechanism, tried to rotate it instead of sliding and when it wouldn’t rotate, applied some extra mechanical force!
Happy motoring.
