I have noticed that when I park up and turn the engine off and remove the key the engine is still running. It doesn't happen everytime but when it does happen it the engine continues to run for a few seconds and then switches off. What is this - is it going to lead to a bigger problem. Many thanks for your advice N

Wrong bulb in the rear cluster for stop / tail can cause ignition faults

Send +12v down the side light wire and the ignition comes on

Thanks for your replies - my car is indeed a 1.4 GLX. You mentioned a light bulb? I did have a rear light out a couple of weeks ago and the bulb was replaced - could the engine running fault be down to that then? Also I have noticed when I drive in the dark my tail light is permenantly on too.....

Bingo
Make sure the stop / tail bulb is the correct twin filiment 5w21 type & its fitted the correct way round.

Thats old school Vauxhall.
There is a similar one for the first generation Vectra but I aint posting it up on a public forum
Reminds me of the first generation Peugeot / Citroen alarm & immobiliser system, that was so easy to bypass in seconds

Does this mean we can all go and hotwire a 206?

Nope. Immobiliser cuts in.
