Do i have an OVP relay?

[hoody7]

on my 1995 e280 estate(w124),it doesn't start well from cold but once it does it will start again all day no problem,i had a look around the battery but i cant see the relay described in other threads,should i have afore mentioned relay fitted to my model?if so where is it located?

not sure. but if you do it's at the battery just remove the black plastic panel

Yes you do have one and yes it could make the starting hard, when this has gone mostly the ABS lamps come on at the same time but not always

Its 125 in the link,mounted behind the battery with a fuse on top

When the car catches and fires up the ABS lamp on the instument panel lights for a second,is that normal?(only on first start)

There is a small delay before the ABS lamp goes out as the engine switches from the battery to the alternator.

The last of these cars 1995 have a 7 or 9 pin relay and thse have more circuits than the older 5 pin versions.

You could always measure the voltage on pin 30 of the engine ECU and that should be at the battery voltage, and the 13.8 volt when running
