    the other day I was moaning on-list about the 61GBP cost of a new FPR
for my '88 100. I can't remember the first few digits of the PN but is ends
with 385F. It is a big unit about 1.5 inches tall. My '87 coupe has a one
443 907 385 (without the F suffix) and is much nearer the size of a wiper
relay (e.g. 1 inch tall). I'd love to know what the difference is. Then
again IIRC the turbo's and FEI versions are different again, maybe these are
the ones with Pn's ending 059G that I've heard of.

    So it seems there is quite a variety of FPRs out there. Huw's relay
finder may hold the key. I think my 385F version needs adding to it, perhaps
it would be good if we all had a push to sort out a definitive list of whats
on what and which are interchangeable.
