it never fails!!!
Took the freshly cleaned jag out saturday night, took family to go see scorch trials came out and it was raining!. Jag was not happy!
Took this opportunity to throw an old problem that hasn't happened since i got her back on the road, back in my face! She refused to crank! I know what the issue is and how to force her to start, its.my starter relay! Wonder what triggered it, the wife being in the car or the rain???? Anyways. I guess its time.to take it apart and clean all the contacts! Grrrrrr. Just when you think everythings going well!!!!

As you know, I just concluded a marathon start "collection of flaws"!
You were of great help. Now, my turn!!!
1. Ditch the metal can Lucas relay in favor of a good quality Bosch type of about 40 amp capacity. They are smaller and plentiful. Not expensive either. Even the parts store rack for supplemental lighting has them.
2. In a pinch like yours, a jumper is handy. Just unplug the w/r from relay to solenoid. Jump 12v from the battery. The post is so close, a jumper might nt be needed. or the post on the firewall will do. Or, down deeper, on the solenoid, big post to small post will get a an otherwise health starter to crank.
3. Real rough and ready. Pliers or screw drive, on the starter, big post to big post!!! Sparky, though, not for the faint hearted!!!
I miss standard transmission, a bump or push and go.

series 1 starter relay is C24258 (starter relay/not ballast ignition/ a/c relay/ igniton relay.) I just ordered one off ebay.

When mine plays up I jump straight from the battery with jump lead.

I think Carl is referring to the common accessory/general purpose Bosch (or Bosch style) relay. Your local auto parts store probably has hanging on a rack along with the fog lamps and such
Just to give you an idea of what you're looking for...
Bosch-Tyco V23234-A0001-X032 High Current Mini Relay
Bosch-Tyco V23234-A1001-X036 High Current Mini Relay
I'd look for a 30 amp or 40 amp version. 30 amp is most common.
Cheers
