they usually are mounted via a rubber grip like thing as on motorbikes when you fit the flashers unit and similar, the mounting place isnt obvious so you will have to hunt about. in my opinion it looks like the electrical suppression unit you have inside a drill to help kill interference, but a bosch agent or lawson diesel pump specialists in edinburgh will put you straight im sure.

Ive not seen one on my bongo, but have seen something similar on my motorbikes and im sure they are diodes, they only allow current to flow in one direction, im sure on my bike it was for the side stand and the clutch to ensure 1. the side stand was up and the clutch was being held in before starting the bike. I have no idea what that would be for on the bongo mind. a guess would be something possibly to do with the doors open circuit for when you hear the beep beep or for the circuit when lifting up the roof, handbrake and in park etc. or even for the alternator would be a good guess. get the wiring diagrams out and get on the hunt for the diode symbol ;)

Then again i could be completely wrong and sending you on a wild goose chase

Thanks chaps.
I am in work today so I will investigate further.
I have popped the numbers unto the mighty Google and got some distracting results, nothing to do with motors though.

I am right in thinking there are 13 variants too?
Mines No7 I think it was 1.47 ohms, seems tiny.
It did remind me of an octane plug Vauxhall used.

Nope! Its not on the electrical diagrams, only shown on the mechanicals!

The pump connections are B2-12, does anyone have the wire colours on the socket noted down or visible ?
