Where can I find the unloader relay, which as I understand it shuts down accessory circuits when you start the car then turns them back on again???)

Can't say that i have ever heard of a unloader relay on an E34 (the E28 has one). Perhaps it's under the rear seat ?

They're in the engine bay fuse box. Have a look in the Bentley Manual for pics & info.

Cheers.

Nice one, hopefully I'll sort out the electrics before the check out girl at Halfords reports me to the police as a stalker

 

                               Thanks

P.S The Bentley DIY manual gets rated over haynes wheres the best/cheapest place to buy one??

Hope this isn't misconstruded as advertising, just easier to reply here, rather than put an advert in the for sale section.

I have a spare near mint one for sale, offers around £35. They are £50 normally.
