This has been bumped up from 2006..

Yes, I'm sure Matt stopped worrying about this a loooooooooooong time ago.

What a coincidence. I just fitted mine today. Though I connected it direct to the starter and ignition wires without actually breaking them so I can still use the key and the push button just for fun. Tapped the power from my cigarette socket which already has a fuse. Im mounting my switch where the ignition key would be in the center of the MK1/2 switch panel - which I'm fitting to my 93 Cooper.

i think the idea of a button being used which means the solenoid feed from the ignition cannot be used is a great anti-theft idea, yes i know its easy to start a mini without it but still

Would that not just be like an imobaliser switch in the cranking circute. Id put the push button some where realy obscure like under the pasenger seat or something.

In the end if its going to get stolen its going to get stolen they would just put it on a flat bed and its gone.
on other hand If its joy riders if they cant start it chances are it will be a mess when you find it.

Exaples of which as it wont start they will more than likely smash it up beack anything that can be and thats if your lucky.
You could come back to a torched shell. Happend to our old moggy traveller they got cought about to torch it as they had siphend petrol into the car through the windows they had broken. >_< owel rambled on abit out nasty people and what they try to do to others nice things because there jellouse.
