Many thanks, My friends mate has given her the once over, changed the relays but kept blowing them, battery voltage doesnt drop at all when you try starting her, all the lights go dim, being a girlie i dont know much about the mechanical side of it unfortunately, i just thought i give changing the juction box a go as thats where the noise is coming from, but will keep an i on that thread, thanks again.

would have thought you would be ok, you only have to watch them if they are imports, restricted or different model eg H model wont fit on L model.

ive just been back out, disconnected it again, lights on, put smallest of connector blocks in, light saty on, put bigger connection block in, lights go off, so it must be something to do with that block, all looks clean inside!
