Disconnecting the inertia switch or getting one of the inertia switch kits isn’t a bad temporary measure to kill the engine. Tucking the plug end away somewhere in the engine compartment adds a bit of a challenge to any would-be thief. It won’t stop anyone with a brain cell for long but any delay is good.

If you have the BAS RRC then you can remap to 0mph limit. Or just take the wheels off? James

Only if its 2.2.(or TD5) I don't think the 2.4 has the inertia switch as it's there to cut the power to the electric low-pressure pump in the event of an accident. The 2.4 does not have the electric pump so no need for the inertia switch. |

How about removing the starter relay under the drivers seat? Unlikely a thief will be carrying an extra relay!

You'd need to whip them all out of both locations or the tea leaf could simply move one of the others.
