Did recently Urq conversion from Swiss to Euro type, and only needed to 
unplug the fog relay coil earting wire, and plug it to earth direct. The 
plug is already there for that purpose. It only takes a minute, but only 
after removing the cover, the relay frame and some serious contorsion 
positions. It could be similar to 89 type, Huw would know, like 85N 
brown/red to any brown. Could be worth investigating.
