I have a completely new loom to put in my car but don't have an relays etc.

I have bought flasher units which I purchased from Halfords however there are 2 more relays I need to purchase. I am not sure what ones they are hence I haven't been able to purchase them yet..... The first one is at the starter module (not the motor or solenoid), might be an obvious question but what is the realy called and where could I get one?

Second relay is in the dashboard area next to the instruments? Any ideas what it's called and where I can get one from?

The starter relay is in the engine bay, ans is used on the later pre-engagaed starter systems. The reason is the current required by the solenoid is larger than that on old on the inner wing soleniod and would burn out you ingnition barrel... that is just a normal relay..

The one in the dash is the Dim-dip relay on the headlights...

both are available from the likes of minispares...
