Here in the U.S., it can happen too. Unless you Know What You Are
Talking About (tm), and then their sneering is kept on a short leash.

We call them Stealerships, and the smart ones among us try desperately
to avoid them at all costs.

With several hundred pounds, you could test the relay advice yourself.
Find the replay and replace it. Cheap, and if it's not bad, you could
offer it for sale elsewhere, or keep it as a spare.

Yeah, the dealer attitude and lack of competance really drives away a
lot of business here in the U.S.

Thanks, Ed. The problem I'd have is finding the (possibly) offending
relay. I believe there are at least 23 of the things scattered round
the car in various inaccessible locations. What I've been trying to
find is a guide that lists the relays and their functions - so far
without success.

Checked the "accordion" (or rather the wires in it) - all OK,
unfortunately.

I hate to say it, but here goes:

Bentley Manual.

Funny, but in my owner's manual, it says EXACTLY where each relay is.
Strange, yes?

Anyway, once you buy the offending relay and Bentley, your couple
hundred quid are spent. And it may or may not solve your problem.

I wish I could be more helpful. Or hopeful.
