or wait for another day?

They’re only £46.54 plus shipping, bargain!

 

I probably have a spare and we’re due a cup of tea at Andy’s place...

 

my thoughts exactly! was just checking with a local nissan dealer as well, just in case.

 

£40.04 + vat with my local dealer, 3-4 days lead time.

 

so probably worth a call to Mike Feeney in that case. will wait until i have checked mine out first though.

Hi Craig......... Amayama are only £7.57 + £3.96 P&P each....... for 25230C9970 and 25230C9980 from UAE stock.......

going out to the UAE is a long way for a couple of relays though Russ? ;)

UAE?

They do post them for only £3.96........ lol

Didn't manage to finish this job that particular weekend as ran out time and light, then a couple of days after that my back was done in and have been suffering since. :( Not sure if it was the crawling in the footwell or moving the seat into the garage, but obviously done something wrong there that my back didn't like. (doesn't like manual work i reckon... :lol:)

So have not been able to get in there and pull the relays to test them, or to glue up the drain tube either, so i can't take up your offer of replacement relays until i am better, and then have to make sure i don't do myself in again trying to put it all back together again... :rolleyes:

Last weekend,managed to fix the drain tube (hopefully) and test some of the relays, and all seemed fine.

 

A couple of relays had slightly green connectors so i cleaned those and as much as i could get to on the fuse board.

 

Could not get the drain tube to stretch down far enough to go back into the elbow through the wing.

So i cut the drain tube half way down the pillar and put a pipe join back in which gives enough slack in the pipe, then put some glue on the end of the pipe so that it stays in the elbow.

 

That was enough as my back is only just recovering, so will have another go this weekend to find any more green electrical contacts and clean whatever i can find, then reconnect everything and see if it cures the problem before i start putting it back together. It might just have dried out enough anyway without anything i have done. :rolleyes: but hopefully it wont get wet anymore....

He's probably being mindful that Emirates do fly direct iirc, therefore a saving in time there and back, he's not daft :p.

Well done buddy, it is a back and neck breaking job eh! just think I used to do this for customers on a regular basis and just in case anyone reading is thinking of doing it here is one of my links showing how to do it including making a joint further up the tube to allow for extra reach down at the back of the fusebox.

Thanks Jeff. I can certainly see it's one of many jobs that could soon rack up a few hours labour for what would seem to be a simple task at first.

 

Just doing the pipe to elbow part through touch alone was only possible after seeing your pics and getting an idea of how to get to them, and then getting spares from Paul/Nemesis last year.

 

I was thinking that if Nissan had just put the same length tube neck on the inside of the in/out elbow as the outside, all of this would be unnecessary.

But just turning the elbow around doesn't quite work, as the tube angle is wrong and causes a kink, as i was considering that as well and then gluing a pipe on the outside :lol:

 

I think it was carrying the seat into the garage at the end of the first day when i took it all apart that did my back in actually.

Would have been nice and relaxing on my back as well, could have got that fixed in no time as well while picking them up ;)

All back together and working as it should.

 

The success would be fixing the leak and getting everything back together.

I don't believe i did anything specific to fix the electrics other than unplug and plug things in and out, and let it dry out a bit.

 

But green zed lives to fight another day, so just need to replace the rear tyres, or even swap wheels with the purple zed while its off the road waiting for some enthusiasm, and we are good to go.
