Just quick question, where is the best place to buy relays for camper electrics?

I have a relay behind my Zig MC-2000 control panel, which allows the fridge to be used on 12v when the engine is running. Unfortunately I think it has died. I'm looking for an SPST-NO, 12VDC, 70A with four contacts (large: 87 & 30, small: 85 & 86).

Have found one (R51-1D70-12P) on Farnell, but they would like to charge £16 for delivery!

Use Google to see if there's a Maplins branch near you - they'll do one. Other than that ebay; won't cost £16 on postage either.

Like these:

Cheers Martin! Just like that!! I've just come away from a basic search and found nothing but 40amp ones!

One tip though. Try to buy one thats properly moulded and not the cheap type where case comes away if you so much as pick it up.

I was looking for the 5 pin on-on version the other day, and went via amazon

so then I can take cable out to stereo, cigi lighter and more. Dependant on if ignition on or off, I will either use leisure or starter

It's kind of hope for the best in this situation! It'll be fine . If not, I'm sure yet another tie wrap will save the day!!
