At £18.00 certainly a cheaper test than an alternator, starter motor, comfort ecu, ignition switch, battery, coding and labour!!!

Just to add - here's a couple of pictures, at the base of the large terminals of 370 it shows there's been some heat.

Can't say for sure yet only had the car back a couple of days. First short journey stopped and started three times no problem. Biggest change is that, once glow plug light has gone out, there is no lag between turning the key and starter motor cranking. Hopefully it's a fix, if not I'll post again before I top myself

The fault with mine is only when the engine is hot and only occasionally it sounds like the battery is flat or the starter motor is faulty or a bad earth or connection somewhere. Only does it sometimes so difficult to diagnose. So for the sake of a few pounds it's worth changing the relays.
