Hello,
Does anybody have a Mk3 headlamp relay for sale, including the metal cover?
I'm after either a very cheap one or preferably a non-working one (if it's even cheaper) for possible refurbishment.

Thanks,
Andrew.

I have a relay . Did not know you could refurb them .. look like a sealed unit too me ?

How much are you asking for it?

Andrew.

Hi Andrew mine would be 25.00 but i know Colin on here as loads of them for about 15 .

Can you open them up ? They look a sealed box too me ?;

As yours stopped working . I had a nice looking one that did not work so throw away ! Did not know you could repair them

Hi,
They are only held together with a few tabs underneath.
Thanks for the heads up about Colin, I'll give him and Martin a call when I've got a bit of time.

Andrew.

No problem

There are four on ebay at the moment, £25+PP, and £30 and £35 that need refurbishing - the cheapest one at £5 has already been refurbished! What a strange market for used parts

Did you over do your one with the drill ?

See the one in the photo?

That's the one I polished the other day.

Yep, I saw the £25 ones. To be honest, I'm not willing to pay that much, that's why I'd prefer a broken one. I can't find the relay for £5 though. Got a link?

Andrew.

So what did you use to get this so shiny ?

I think this is the one, but it's bids https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-capri-m ... rk:39:pf:0

Polished it with a tea towel....
First I used a dolly mop with a coarse compound, then I used a stitch mop with a fine polishing compound, then I polished a lot with a felt wheel and finally a lot of buffing with a lambswool thingy. Job's a good 'un!

Christ I have a few bits and bobs for my drill thing but could never name them . You did a very good job there sir . And will make a full inspection next year . I have been trying my hardest to get the 31 years worth of dentrol rust stuff around that area and it’s a right pain .

Might use that bloke in Enfield as his work looks good .

Hi chaps, apologies for the delay in coming back - had a stupid work training course today so no chance to browse the forum during work hours as is my norm!

This was the link I meant Andrew, I follow the seller on eBay as he is great for cheap parts but still good quality - I know Paul G has got things from the same seller and we've both been happy with what we've got!

Cheers
Danny

Thanks Danny!

Sold for £26.00 + £5.50 P & P.
Not bad for a restored item, but that was a bit to much for me.

Andrew.
