I saw some pics of a paul Smart with a melted plastic tray online - not good!

Fingers crossed its the relay and I'll be up and running again. Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

I wouldn't bother changing the reg/rec unless the original fails. Much better, and cheaper, to get the stock one cooling properly by moving under the tray which will reduce the chance of it failing.
