Save me having to throw this away, I'm after one of these plastic bolts that hold the box lid on.
This is the screw/bolt.



The box.







Oh and as I have you in here can anyone tell me what the chuff this is for??
I have an inkling its a split charge relay, but it doesn't look automotive to me!!

RS will show you the Box.

Relay switches with 12Volts on the coil .... used to switch high current drains like HRW, Fogs, AirHorns, etc.

Fairly standard looking IP65 polycarbonate box, any clues to what the box or relay are controlling? Relays can be used to switch many different types of loads.

Box is just something dry and secure for my Landrover, so without the bolt/screw it's not watertight so useless lol.

The relay was in a box of stuff I had from another Land Rover. But was just interested what it was for and how I could reuse it. You can see it in the 5th pic down in the box I had for use as a new use box.
