Which relay in the pic Rob, 42 ? If so, 42 is for the low water level sensor circuit.
p.s. = The same item as relay 43 btw, just different design inside. Oh and of course it is not a relay but quite a complex little circuit.

Is that not hazards/indicator relay?

The indicators and hazards work with it removed.And the lights on buzzer fitted in its place.

And this on the T25 section of the T4 forum :shock:
Load reduction relay (18)

Coupled with Brickwerks =
"relief relay"

I'll vote for that... Let us know :wink:

Glad you tracked it down. Went out to check mine for you too Rob, but I don't have a relay there as no fog lights fitted to my Syncro.
