Can anyone help identify this relay, located in the top corner to the left the fuse box?
Many thanks
Sid

I think that's the "load shedding" relay. It's kind of important; pretty much all the car's electrical devices are switched through it, taking the load off the ignition switch contacts. It also shuts off power-consuming devices while the starter is running.

Here is a pic of the base. Three pins are marked 85 86 87 and the vertical one is marked 30/51. The face is marked Hella 91/6-21-12V.
Many thanks

Note that the load shedding relay as Jay identified it has much larger spade connectors than normal for pin 87 and 30
