Paul.... Aidans right, Its an anti run on valve. Closed when it has a 12v supply and open when supply cut. Wire it into an ignition live and pipe it into the air vacume supply for the servo and when you turn off the key the engine cuts out rather than run on. Hey presto.

You should say your hub caps that I robbed from you of the Metro :lol: . Lets just say I slpped, the hub caps fell out of my hands and somehow landed under the back tyres of a 94 Starlet but things get weirder....... all of a sudden the handbrake lifted and the Starlet started going around in circles? How mad is that? :shock: Sally gap must be haunted or something :lol:
