Post by: X01X on 21 February 2012, 13:54: They both the entire loom though. The link i showed was only the harness bit and relay that goes under the seats
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: jv on 21 February 2012, 13:56: Helps with pricing though doesn't it?
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: X01X on 21 February 2012, 13:57: maybe, maybe not lol. Any cash i get from either of them is a benefit as i only paid 60 for the entire loom, switch and relays
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: F17BAD on 21 February 2012, 17:51: loom is a total different ball game..

loom with switch, worth about £50

the Relays in the first link are known to fail. price is fair if working

Post by: danny_p on 21 February 2012, 20:15: really.

probs cheeper to just buy a mk3 for the relay,extract relay then weigh it in
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: X01X on 21 February 2012, 22:37: Well i have 2 of these relays laying around extra as my seats already had them still connected. Just seeing if it was worht bunging them on Ebay or see if anyone on here might be interested

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 23 February 2012, 22:54: I picked up two working relays only last week from a guy breaking a Highline on ebay for £30 including postage. Considering they are around £45 each from the dealers i was quite happy with what I paid.
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: X01X on 23 February 2012, 22:55: I got two extra but i'm going to hang on to them. Already replaced one for no reason when i was trying to figure out why the passenger seat didn't switch on lol, turned out was the switch :sad:
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 23 February 2012, 23:05: Likewise, I've got a spare now which won't be leaving my possession for sure.
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: X01X on 23 February 2012, 23:07: Also just for anyone who doesn't know. Get a person with small hands and arms to change relays if your not taking the seats out, otherwise you will end up with cut hands like mine lol :tongue:
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: thai-wronghorse on 23 February 2012, 23:09: For what it takes i simply removed the rear plastic runner covers and front retaining clip and just tilted the seat up and swapped the relays over like that. 5 minutes each side, jobs a goodun.
Title: Re: Really??
Post by: X01X on 23 February 2012, 23:12: shh :smiley: This was my first go. Was easier the second time just unclipping the relay from the harness and letting it drop to the floor. That was less than a minute job and it didn't hurt my hands
