I have no idea where your relays fit. But could I suggest you popped one of them in the wrong slot? (Mine has a spare slot though its not wired up) Easy mistake to make in the dark

yeah I'm thinking there is one in the wrong slot cant see how it could just disappear. You only have one space slot? iv got loads but then i don't have air con or fog lights mine is only a basic model :(

Have air con and fog lights but there are only 3 slots in the e-box. One is fuel pump, one is for ECU and third isnt used:) There are more under back seat but I dont suppose you 'lost' a relay under there and forgot:D

Will do same @1400 and you can compare, have fog and A/C,no heated/electric seats.Its worth pulling all fuses front and back and cleaning blades, my odd problems disappeared after that.

Big thanks to Barney and ferret

sorry i have not been on after asking for help :(

Thanks for the pictures looking at them shows me my fuse box is nothing like yours really you have a lot more relays and fuse's than me, ill take a snap of mine this weekend and post it.
I found my relay it was in the car just popped it into the wrong slot after having a play around with it i found what one it was.
Had to find it the car went it for MOT and I'm very happy to say it passed.
new injector is ready to be picked up and I'm about ready to pull the fuse box out the way and have a good look under there for fuse 23 :D lets get this puppy running :D
