Sman:

Pop the cover off the relay, tap the contacts on and off a couple of times, reinstall the relay without the cover, and see if it will cycle the timer.

Almost did that - but put the cover back on so I can get the thing back out of the plug! (It is very tight in there as well as being a bit difficult to reach with big hands)







I can't see any burning or any other give away marks of it being buggered.

I can still hear the thing clicking and connecting something - but the pump still doesn't run.

Fault finding that is totally beyond my current electrickery abilities...

...I know a man who can though but it will be easier to wait until the second hand part arrives.

The one thing I can do is use a jumper lead to get the fuel pump running and then measure the current that draws at the relay socket (as I have a gucci ammeter clamp) - not sure if that's gonna get me any further as I don't think there's a limit in the FSM for that...
