im running it on oil pressure switch and a citroen inertia switch how ever you do it an inertia switch needs to be used. DONT use temporary measures they nearly always last way to long *tongue*

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Got fed uip trying to work out the diagrams and understanding the FAQ. The oil pressure switch wires just confused me, so mines now just running direct from the fuse box live when ignition is in position II. Works fine, ill just be carefull i dont get knocked unconcious until i find a understandable wiring diagram!

Why would any one not want an inertia switch?
A few pounds max down the scrappies!

I use the oil pressure switch to kill the pump and ignition in case of no oil pressure, and also the inertia switch in the same way.

If you roll a car, it won't necessarly stall the engine.

Saw a bad crash on the M way a few months ago, and the engine was still running on the car, even with the keys out of the ignition!
