Hi All,
1995 single point injection 1275cc Sidewalk,
the relay module has started acting up,,, and knocking the pump out,,
it has 4 relays inside the plastic unit, according to the Haynes book
1) starter relay
2) pump relay
3) main relay
4) manifold PTC heater
it sits on top of the brake servo near the fusebox,
I don't want to go to the dealer,, does anyone have a link to a site where I
could get one, either new or second-hand

TIA
Fitzy

Expensive part, there 80 quid from mini spares,
http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=33922

have heard a few of these giving problems, the mpi is diffrent, the newest
2nd hand one will be around 9 years old, think all the autojumbles & mini
shows are over now for the year, these would be worth looking at if there
are any on, miniclassics may have one,

Not sure but they probably did, the ecu on them is shared with other models,
try looking at all rovers of similar years, the relay part number is
YWB10022

Thanks Steve,
I opened the relay to inspect for burnt or damaged parts,, none found,,and
there are 4 small relays in a PCB,
I started the engine and 2 of the relays activated, but the engine started
surging, and one of the active relays was clicking in and out,
I knew this relay was controlled by the ECU, (Haynes was right) so I looked
at the wiring loom to the ECU, as soon as I disturbed it, the engine cut
out,and refused to start until I moved the ECU harness, I removed the ECU
and inspected the harness I found 2 wires broken inside of the insulation, a
quick soldering job and some shrink wrap and it's fixed,
Thanks for your input,
How is your "S",
Fitzy
