I have just followed this tutorial here - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=186173

But could not see the relay switch... It looks like its in a different position to mine?

Can anyone tell me where it is/what colour it is or if there is an easier way?

Off the top of your head do you know the fuse number? That would be less hassle than taking out the rear bench.

Its on the fuel rail, looks like a valve on your wheels, some times there is a plastic dust cap on it.

Make sue you have a tissue/cloth when you press it other wise some bits of petrol will drip.
