Worth giving the new relay a back for £13 from ebay do you think?

You've got a resistance on each coil (not open or shorted) and also the sum of the two, so that stacks up.

With ebay returns massively siding with the customer, its certainly worth it.

New relay came, the number on the overload is different: B60-120(old) vs B45-108(new) so I swapped them and fitted it.... no cigar, same issue, motor tries to run but the overload cuts in after a few seconds. Is it worth while / safe to try the new overload in the new relay, or is my fridge likely to catch fire?

Last thing I can think to try, otherwise the part gets sent back.

I think the lesser values of the new one would have it trip sooner.

If the capacitor is fine, it's possible that the motor has actually seized and won't turn.
