which wire goes where -Relays?

Quote from Colin on 6th January 2013, 12:45 pmEver been confused about which wire goes where on your L.E. well worry no more
Here's a wiring diagram showing both the 2 can shaped ignition and starter relays in the later cars.

The wiring should be
Starter relay
W2 = Earth Black
W1 = 2 x White/red
C2 = 1 x White/Red
C1 = 2 x Brown (Live feed)Ignition Relay
W2 = Earth Black
W1 = 2 x White
C2 = 1 x White/Brown
C1 = 1 x Brown (Live feed)pin no's on equivelent relays
30 = C1
85 = W2
86 = W1
87 = C2Hope this helps

Maybe I will paint an S on one and an I on the other, then I will know which one to kick!
Thanks for this enlightenment Colin B)
