Hidden start button.
Could people pm me with ideas about how to disable my 2.2 puma with a hidden switch please? What I would like is a fuel pump cut off or something similar which allows the car to turn over without firing.

Thanks and regards,

Are you thinking that if it is "dead" when you turn the key, people will suspect an immobiliser etc and maybe start ripping things apart to find it. If it turns over but doesn't start they might assume it is ill and get bored and move on?

Correct. I want time to put my pants on before running down the stairs and into the street. I owe the neighbours that at least.

The sound of a car not starting seems to draw attention, and a land rover not starting will draw every land rover owner within earshot in five minutes... V8 90...WIP

Could you send me as well, for a 2.4? I have been considering the same but dont feel confident enough... â€œA Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, [â€Ķ] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique.

Could you send me as well, always looking for more ways to make it less vulnerable.

I'm also looking at other security solutions and would appreciate input via the pm, if you're happy with that.
