Does anyone know the part numbers and location of the relays for the fuel pump and driving/fog lamps on a v8s.
Thanks Ginger

Under the glovebox in the rats nest there are two relays, one is the main relay and one is the fuel pump relay. Mine were mounted next to eachother. I bought mine from MotorServe (motorfactor), they found the part number for me. But, it will be written on the relay. Don't buy cheap relays with the same pin numbers, they are crap. Try RangeRover if you have a dealership near by.

I'll see if I can find the recipt when i get in tonight, if I am not beaten to it.

The fuel pump relay is one of two metal-cased Bosch relays on flying leads by the ECU. You must replace these with an identical relay. I don't remember the part number off-hand but it's written on them and they're easy to get hold of. Last time I got some I think they cost about £15 each, but people have reported getting them cheaper. You can get them from any Bosch dealer, TVR specialist or Land Rover dealer.

On mine the spot/driving light relay is one of the four relays in the fuse / relay panel above the passenger footwell, which is also where the ECU lives.

If you haven't investigated this area before then your next questions will probably be (1) is it supposed to look like a rat's nest in there? and (2) how the £*%@ do I get all that wiring to go back behind the trim?

Your spot on with how do you get it all back under the footwell, I keep trying but don`t want to over stress the loom and have further problems! Is there a particular way of doing it.
The relays I require are missing so if you have the part numbers it would help greatly. Thanks, Ginger
