2010 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Cairns Blue

Wiper relay site - idiot dealer!!

Ok, so I took my 59 plate to Evans Halshaw hoping they could replace the wiper relay as requested because they are only a 20 min walk down the road. They ring me 3 hours later saying they don't know where the relay is located and Land Rover don't know either..... it also turns out that they had ordered the wrong part.

So I'm wondering if you knowledgable folk can tell me how to do it myself if I order the correct part (ywb000060)
Many thanks
Josh

On early vehicles it was definitely behind the main vehicle battery. Extract from w/shop manual below.

A recent thread suggests that it's not in this location on later cars, but in the large waterproof box of electronics in the driver's side engine bay. This is despite the workshop manual using the photo above for all years. Sorry, not very helpful, but might explain why the dealer can't find it! Current: 2010 Range Rover L322

Thanks very much.
Is it easy to actually swap the relay?

Very easy. Just pull out the old one and slot in the new one. If you're feeling adventurous, it might even be possible to open up the old one and file back the contacts on the relay until they are flat. Basically, arcing between the contacts makes them pitted and leads to a bad connection. Better to fit a new one, though, and they're not expensive. Current: 2010 Range Rover L322

Could the electrics be hidden in this box here?

Thanks Stan, I'll have a look now.
I've just spoke to a Land Rover specialist and he said for my 59 plate there won't be a relay for the windscreen wipers.
