Spare relay arrived today from KMS http://www.kmsparts.com/ , it's a Meyle unit and is also identified as an 8D0 951 253A but everything in the spec seems correct.
Did a bit of testing with my bypass wire, original relay, Franks relay and the new one. Totally consistent results. 
Basically it will no longer start, even moving the gear selector, with any relay installed. It starts perfectly with the bypass wire.
So it's a racing certainty that the F125 switch is the culprit, specifically the P/N circuit. 
The reverse circuity is currently working fine, just as well really as that drives the reversing lights. Don't think that's an MOT issue though.
I'll be returning Franks kit shortly in case he needs it.
