Are the numbers on the terminals a universal standard ? Need one like
the number 4 at top of page here VWP.
I have one in my box-o-bits with corresponding numbers. will it be the same ?

as far as I'm aware yes it's a standard coding system, but just to be sure it's the same I'd still prise of the cover and have a shifty

u know I really feel like a beer just now but it seems a bit early in the morning, oh sod it I'll have one

They are a standard numbering system. The numbers are also on the Relay.

The relays normally have a diagram on them so no need to try and get the cover off , Mr Whippy!

You should be aware that there are 2 patterns of connector layout.

This Vehicle Wiring Products page shows it really well.

(who's just bought a relay off them!)

Doh! Just re-read the original post - with a link to the same VWP page... :blush:

yes. beware of the one that has snubber diode fitted since the coil can only bewired one way on those.

Maplin are cheaper than the usual places for automotive relays.

Rather than using that type of relay I would use two seperate 4 blade relays.
