Whats this switch do??

Does anyone know what this switch does? I flicked it on and off, but cant see that it does anything???,, Its in the panel underneath the steering wheel on a 3.9 V8 ES.

alarm? imobiliser? or possible the remants of a long lost accessory

Right. That is not OE part. Follow the wires and see where and what do they lead to.

It arms the ejector seat........

...passenger's ejection seat, to be more precise ...

LOL @ the ejector seat!! would be nice! lol,,, yeah I figured it wasnt OE, it starts with it in either postion, so thats the immobiliser out,,, and Im sure the alarm works both ways too,,, oh well,,, looks like i gotta trace some wires!!!

its that long lost land rover V8 economy switch.....

Can I get one of these fitted as an aftermarket accessory?? , although I di find another similar switch on my V8i, its on the right of the steering column, and if I don't put a key in it, my MPG is fantastic .

Sure you can. Look under ''engines" section. They're called "Tdi's".

yeah, but I like to do 0-60 in less that 3 weeks , espcially when towing my 22ft caravan.

Oh, I forgot in UK people are doing things the other way, including towing: the proper way to tow a caravan
