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.

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:

Likewise, I've got a spare now which won't be leaving my possession for sure.

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:

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.

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
