Could possibly be the starter relay. From looking at the workshop manual I have it shows the starter relay as being under the LH side of the dashboard. But the manual shows the car in a LH drive layout. So not sure if it will be under the drivers side or passenger side on a RH drive car, if that makes sense
It is in the same block as the ignition relay, power window relay and front fog relay.

Hope that is some help.
