Disco 1 M reg 300TDi Relays

I have checked both my Rave(s) and my LR Manuals for the location of the relays.
The majority are in either the driver or passenger footwells, however they dont seem to be anything like the ones identified in the manuals?
here are pics of the passenger footwell

behind the passenger glove box


and the drivers footwell

Rave shows 5 in the passenger footwell, but different colours. None behind the glove box and 5 + 3 in the drivers footwell ~(mine has A/C).

Can anyone through some light on this?

M reg 1994-95 so that's a 1995MY D1 which still had the 200series electrics, still with the single button fob and possibly a black multifunction unit
The 1996MY onwards has a lot more relays fitted on two part swing out mounting bracket on the passenger side, and bolt on detachable bracket on the drivers side.
Your be lucky to find a Rave for the D1 200, the downloaded Rave is for the 96MY, my parts catalog shows relays but that s for the 96MY.

I have the May 1991 Discovery workshop manual - but that dont help either - and Haynes is next to useless

Ok... So why do u require to know what is what with relays. I had a look once, then put the covers back and never been back.

cos i have no heater fan on any setting.... fuses are ok, and new resistor pack, so likely to be relay. it would be nice to know where the fecker is .

If it's like my '200 D1 (& You have luck like mine....) it'll be the bloody heater-fan motor that's fubar

Not a job I look forward to

Your looking for a relay with 4 wires connected white-light green, green, black and white-light green.
Later models, red, brown, blue-red, white-red and brown so a 5 wire relay.

ta.
can yu see those colours in the pics ^^^ cos i cant .

This link is for the later 300 series 96MY so a big difference in the wiring.
Click the links to see an example.
The later 200 early 300 series from MA081992 has relays like this http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=809723&SPRACHE=EN
The 300 series has relays on the left of the vehicle like this http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=809760&SPRACHE=EN
On the right http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=809746&SPRACHE=EN

So the manual named "Discovery 1 - ETM - MY95" is for 96? and i thought we are speaking about the blower controll relay not generic circuit relays, nr.2 here http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=808331&SPRACHE=EN , this http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/130866/5135/relay_assy___heater_motor_control

We are still in discussion on the location of a heater relay, although my links were to give you an understanding of the differences the electrics were in some 1995MY of the D1.
95MY was in the showrooms here in September 94 till when the 96MY arrived in June 95.
So if the OPs vehicle has the later air-blending heater box then we know the location of the relay as your link shows, job done... but if not then where is the heater relay.

IMO the blower relay should be there near the blower on all, as confirmed by the microcat link too which states that setup is from FA393361 -> WA799999 so M reg should be as in the link

Vin is MA138xxx, so should fall into that nicely, ta. will look again this w/e.

Easy to confirm that the relay is or should be on the heater box as per the links posted, if you have a left and a right rotary heater temp controls then ok. But if the temp control is a slider then it's search time.

Starting from MA081992 should be like i said so this case is covered

Anyone know what this is?

If you open that document i linked you and go to Connector - C2068 -face view ( M reg 300TDi Relays ) you'll see that it matches exactly the connector pin disposal and wire colours for that so i'm positive that it's the blower relay STC3141(shown in the brit-car link as well http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/130866/5135/relay_assy___heater_motor_control )

:doh: I didnt think it was the blower motor relay, as I have white one mounted on the side of the fan - but then again, I will check this one out - typically, my relay tester wont test this one as the pinout is different Will have to resort to multimeter .

It looks as if someone has already bodged it at some time

but then again - it does look like this....


Just that it is described as a
