Starter relay location

Opel Astra 2000  340000 miles
Hi 👋

I'm struggling to find the location of this relay for the starter motor in my Opel Astra 1.6 CS 2000. I'd appreciate some help please.
The car started to not turn on but click once at random times.

Looking to eliminate possible causes etc.

Many thanks
