Try diesel electric or a bosch/hella agent. The relays were made by those companies

Further to panic's post, Diesel Electric North are in Pretoria West, out on Church Street, now WF Nkomo, just past the show grounds.

I don't bother with other Bosch Service Centres any more.
I normally speak to Sam (Samual Mtshali); he's been there for years, very knowledgeable.

If the ones you need are the 4 pin type then they are all pretty much the same standard universal 4 pin relays, most spares shops will have them. Draw a diagram of the positions before you pull them out so you don't get things wrong when you reinstall.

IIRC only the flasher module and the wiper relay are special ones. Those can be bought at Goldwagen.

Yeah except the pin positions might be different from the regular spares shop variety. Actually not just might be. Almost certainly is different.

Ooooh I didn't realize.

Thanks for clearing that up.
