Big Green relay in NB/SE/SP series cars - engine bay fuse box - anyone know how to remove it? Doesn't appear to be bolted in.......

May have a bolt that goes through the terminals - below the relay.

Here's some pics of it out of the car. Never pulled it myself, but I know Dave has cursed it for being a bastard to get out... looks like a tab on the side and then those two long bits all need to bend inwards to me...

You need to spread those 2 long locking tabs apart and jiggle it up. Sounds easy but it's a bastard to get out. You'll be pleased to know that it's much easier to fit back in though.

Ah sh*t, I read main fuse, not main relay.

I am having an absolute shocker lately... :oops:

All fixed. They suck to remove - jewellers screwdrivers for the win!
