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???) ------------- Bugger I should'nt have pressed that!!! |

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. Andy ------------- Badger540 West Midlands |

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. Andy ------------- Badger540 West Midlands |
